I made this simple chrome-extension, which blocks youtube-thumbnails & shorts. Nothing fancy.

Internally, it blocks network requests which are related to thumbnails.

Additionally, you can use "Clickbait Remover for YouTube" extension. It simply replaces the thumbnails with a snapshot of the video.
