https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/yt-thumbs-shorts-blocker/inalfmhkhiloipcljnhipkhhelfflenm https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/yt-thumbs-shorts-bl... 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.
