Extension summary

Analyze keywords

DeArrow is a browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal of DeArrow is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism.

DeArrow is a paid (if you want) browser extension. You can purchase an unlimited-use license key for 1$. However, if you cannot, or do not want to pay, you can use the extension by clicking the "I can't/don't want to pay" button.

Titles can be any arbitrary text. Thumbnails are screenshots from specific timestamps in the video. These are user submitted and voted on.

By default, if there are no submissions, it will format the original title to the user-specified format, and set a screenshot from a random timestamp as the thumbnail. This can be configured in the options to disable formatting, or show the original thumbnail by default.

If the original thumbnail is actually good, you can still vote for it in the submission menu, and then it will act like a submission.

No more dealing with clickbait, arrows, or annoying faces.

Users can submit better titles and thumbnails for each video and vote on them.

User reviews

User reviews

섬네일 없애주는 기능은 저는 돈주고 구매할 가치가 있다고 생각합니다. (저는 구매했습니다) 영어 유튜브를 자주 보면 유튜브의 제목도 생각보다 많이 바꿔줘요. 제안하는 사람이 많아서 그런듯. 썸네일 어그로와 제목 어그로가 짜증나면 생각해보세요. 국내 컨텐츠는 거의 없을거라 생각합니다.
