The creators of SponsorBlock did it again, now we can crowdsource better titles and thumbnails as well. I just tried it with LinusTechTips who is a worst offender when it comes to clickbait and its really great.

Compare without DeArrow

and with the extension

If I still used YT's main front-end, this would've been great.

SponsorBlock has been added to alternative frontends as well, so there is a good chance DeArrow will be ported.

That's what I'm hoping for!

What are you using? Freetube or something else?
