Begs? Bad take. It's the developer's full time job to make those two extensions. They don't materialise out of thin air, someone has to dedicate themself to developing it, hosting the servers which store and send the information, managing the community around them, fixing bugs. That stuff isn't free. The servers alone cost hundreds of dollars per month. If you value the utility that it gives you then paying a small amount for the server cost and the developer's time is completely fair.

edit: oh and also dearrow is usable entirely for free. The payment is basically optional.

SponsorBlock. An absolute necessity if you watch youtube on desktop. It skips host-read sponsors in videos, as well as other stuff you might want to skip like intro animations and Interaction Reminders ("don't forget to like and subscribe!").

I assume it's unintentional that this is so low resolution that the city names are barely readable

edit: the original image, before it was rehosted with the shit compressed out of it, is much higher res and is actually readable.

They're not gonna do that. Would be nice, but they've responded to previous petitions with "politicians gonna politician, it's up to voters to be educated and not vote for liars". Which, yeah, but also, people keep voting for liars.
