Description

Automatically replace clickbait YouTube thumbnails with the real first frame of the video. Lightweight, private, no setup. DeBait swaps clickbait YouTube thumbnails for the real first frame of each video, so your feed shows what videos are actually about — not the misleading bait. It works automatically the moment you install it. No popup, no account, no settings. • Replaces thumbnails on the home feed, search, sidebar and channel pages • Works on both regular videos and Shorts • Restores the original automatically when no real frame is available • Lightweight (~3 kB) and private: no tracking, no accounts, no extra requests DeBait only needs access to YouTube and changes thumbnails at the network layer, so the clickbait image is never even downloaded.
