在YouTube上禁用自动配音和翻译标题(使用扩展程序)
作为一个正在学习第三语言的双语者,看到我所关注的少数巴西葡萄牙语频道(LN)或用于学习的(L3)视频推荐中那些翻译得很糟糕的英文标题,真是令人感到非常恼火。而且在一些非英语视频中,AI的机器人声音听起来很奇怪,立体声的相位差也让人不适(其实应该是单声道),每当这种情况发生时,我都得暂停视频并切换音轨。
结果发现,有两个广为人知的扩展程序包含了解决/缓解这两个问题的选项。主要发帖是因为我很少看到有人直接提到但从未结合提及这两个问题:
- ImprovedTube [1] 扩展程序在播放器菜单中有一个“禁用自动配音”的选项。请注意,它并不会阻止视频被推荐,而是始终在播放时设置为默认/原始音轨。一般菜单中还有其他有用的选项,比如移除AI摘要、短视频、相关搜索、会员视频等。(意见可能会有所不同)
- DeArrow [2] 扩展程序在行为选项卡中有一个“不要显示YouTube的翻译标题”的选项,除了反点击诱饵等功能,这使得辨别内容语言变得更加容易,不会被误导去点击那些与自己想要的内容不符的自动配音推荐。
总之,尽管这大致恢复了低背景噪音、单语默认、缺乏内置选项的状态,以及无论按多少次“不感兴趣”仍然不断出现的内容,毫无疑问,这些都令人感到烦恼。
说实话,这也算是一件好事,它让我对这个网站产生了过敏反应,从而把我宝贵的时间花在许多其他更有生产力、健康和重要的事情上。

As a fellow bilingual going for a third language, it has become very infuriating reading poorly English-translated titles in video recommendations from the select few brazilian portuguese channels I care (LN), or for learning exposure (L3). And then there's the robotic, uncanny AI voice with the weird phase difference on its stereo audio (which should've been mono) for a few seconds in non-english videos until I pause and switch.<p>Turns out two widely known extensions contains options to fix/mitigate both of these issues. Mainly posting this as I've rarely seen a direct but never combined mentions in the wild:<p>- The ImprovedTube [1] extension has a "Disable auto-dubbing" option in the Player menu. Note that it doesn't block videos from getting recommended, but rather always sets the default/original audio track on playback. There's other useful options in the General menu too, like removing AI Summaries, Shorts, Related Search, Members videos, etc. (Opinions might vary)<p>- The DeArrow [2] extension has a "Don't show youtube's translated titles" option in the Behavior tab apart from the anti-clickbait things etc., which makes it much easier to tell content languages and not be fooled into clicking auto-dubbed recommendations outside what one wants/speaks.<p>Anyhow, while this mostly reverts to how things were before the low-background steel, the monolingual defaultism, lack of built-in options, and the indifference in no matter how many times one presses "not interested" everything still showing up, and up, and up are undoubtfully annoying to say the least.<p>Which is something good tbh, it's making me allergic to the website so I spend my precious time on many other productive, wholesome and important things otherwise.<p>[1]: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube<p>[2]: https://dearrow.ajay.app/
