Oh it's not a language quirk, it's a browser extension that allows users to change thumbnails and titles of YouTube videos to make them less obnoxious.
Wow! I didn't know such an extension exists! Thank you! Searching for "DeArrowing" instead of "DeArrow" threw my results off.
Edit: On second thought, it's a paid extension... meh
I don't think so? It's free to install on Firefox.
At least for me this is what I get when trying to install it. I have to request free access manually. I don't like that business model.

To clarify on what it happening, the extension was free for everyone while it was in beta, but as originally described on the website and install page, there is now a soft paywall for new users only. Those beta users also have a license key that they are encouraged to share with others if they would like :)
