This looks like a hilarious extension. (Pictures are avaialble in the store links.)

What it does is your choice of the following:
1. replaces thumbnail with a still from the start, middle, or end of the video
2. makes the title all lowercase or only the 1st letter capitalized

The result is a YouTube that looks more like it used to and reveals how much videos consist of literal talking heads.

h/t @josejfernandez for mentioning this in a toot: https://mastodon.social/@josejfernandez/109257862396442982

Before I forget, I'd like to say the following:

Thank you to @chr for this well-maintained, well-run, and neatly-stylized instance. It's where I got to take my first steps on Mastodon, and it has consistently been here when I needed it.

I haven't needed it much, but I'm still grateful for all the cool experiences I've had and all the cool people I've met thanks to being here.
