DeArrow - Better Titles and Thumbnails on YouTube

Crowdsourcing titles and thumbnails to be descriptive and not sensational

Enhance Your YouTube Experience with DeArrow

DeArrow is a revolutionary browser extension that focuses on crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails for YouTube videos. By allowing users to submit and vote on more accurate and less sensational titles, DeArrow helps reduce the clickbait culture that often plagues video content. You can easily submit your own titles and thumbnails or rely on community submissions to ensure a better viewing experience.

DeArrow stands out by permitting users to choose from various formatting options for titles, and when user submissions are absent, the extension generates thumbnails from random timestamps in the videos, avoiding clichéd auto-generated thumbnails. This paid extension offers flexibility with a one-time license purchase or a free usage option if you choose not to pay. Take control of your YouTube content with DeArrow and enjoy an ad-free, engaging, and accurately represented viewing experience!

It's paid, there is no option to use it free, the description is lying, best you get is 'free' 6 hours before it lockes you from using it..
