Awesome tool, but I wish it didn't remove thumbnails from streams. It just ends up being a gray box, and I can't even tell what the stream is about sometimes.

Zero One, 2025-01-14I was using DeArrow, but realized after isolating the issue that DeArrow was the reason for MASSIVE performance issues on my phone while browsing YouTube. I don't care enough to test but I guess it was due to how it modifies the page. It would cause unbearable slowdowns and even crash the browser (Edge Canary). Anyways, this extension seems to be far more performant and I had no care for the crowd-sourced nature anyway, preferring the auto-generated thumbnails and retaining the original titles. Thank you.
