It's true that it won't hide the duration until after the video is opened (Even with "Hide automatically" rules set), i.e search results and suggestions will still show durations.

Works great. One of it's kind. I wonder why such a feature is not present at any browser yet. Thanks to the developer!

Still works 2022-04-14. Another review said you can't block duration until it's open, but that's wrong, you just click the extension and hit the button "Hide automatically" button and set a rule. Works great if the titles have something consistent in them.
