You need the extension "Clickbait Remover" - it just grabs a random frame from the video and sets it as the thumbnail, will change your youtube life:

Here's the Firefox version of the Clickbait Remover extension:

This looks great. It's surprising how much mental energy is spent fighting these initial triggers like icons/clickbait.

Thank you for your recommendation. I'm tired in the world of marketing when everyone is trying to invest in click bait instead of making good contents.

I'd like this, but it doesn't work when using uBlock Origin. It does change case of video titles, though, so it's working: just not able to alter the thumbnails anymore. Would be great but I'm not disabling uBlock Origin for it…

working for me on firefox with uBlock Origin, maybe it's some other extension (or some custom rule)?
