DeArrow is an open-source browser extension that crowdsources better titles and thumbnails for YouTube videos, replacing sensationalized clickbait with accurate, community-submitted alternatives. It fetches submissions from a shared backend, generates thumbnail screenshots from video timestamps, and falls back to configurable title formatting and random-timestamp thumbnails when no submissions exist.
Use cases
- remove clickbait titles from youtube videos
- replace sensationalized youtube thumbnails
- crowdsource accurate video titles
- show neutral thumbnails in my youtube feed
- format youtube titles to sentence case
- reduce sensationalism on youtube
When to choose
- you watch YouTube regularly and want less clickbait
- you want community-driven, open-source title/thumbnail replacement
- you want a SponsorBlock-style crowdsourced experience with a public API and downloadable database
When to avoid
- you don't use YouTube
- you prefer original creator branding untouched
- you need a non-browser solution (mobile support requires extra setup)
