User reviews
RYS — Remove YouTube Suggestions has quality features and is efficient. I've enabled many of the options, and all work perfectly! Is it possible to add these features in RYS? 1. Set a default video resolution. 2. Replace the thumbnail with a start, middle, or end image of the video. 3. Format the video title in lowercase, capitalize sentences, or capitalize words and remove emojis.
