Why Hide Video and Playlist Thumbnails on YouTube?

You need to hide the thumbnails of video channels and playlists to focus on useful information and avoid wasting time on something that is obviously unnecessary.

When you browse the trending section on YouTube or perform a search, you are often presented with many videos from channels that you may not trust. If you do not trust these channels, the Channel groups and rating extension allows you to hide a significant part of the information about them by hiding their thumbnails.

Hiding this information is done by placing channels into groups within the extension. In the group editor, you can specify that you want to hide thumbnails for all channels in that group. As a result, all channels assigned to this group will have their video and playlist thumbnails hidden on YouTube.

This feature of the Channel groups and rating extension helps you optimize your YouTube experience by reducing distractions and focusing on trusted content.
