Simple, but powerful extension. Thanks for sharing it. Thumbnails make it so easy to fall down the YouTube rabbit hole. Don't get me started on the prevalent annoying face making trend. ;-)

This extension is alright. It does look odd with nothing there besides the name of the video but I don't like these people with weird thumbnails I'll still rate it 5.

I wouldn't mind an option to just stop the thumbnail playing and I don't mean the inline nonsense that pops out, I mean the actual thumbnail from playing.

Works amazingly! Any chance there's a version of this that hides the title but keeps the thumbnail?

Extension is so helpful, but I dont like not having thumbnails. I wanted to ask how to keep the thumbnails blured, but not remove completely. Thanks
