Hello,
To restore animated thumbnail previews on YouTube, you can try using a userscript with a userscript manager extension like Violentmonkey. Here’s a quick fix:

Install Violentmonkey: Add the Violentmonkey extension to your browser.

Install the Userscript: Use this userscript: Restore Animated Thumbnail Previews.

Enable the Script: Follow the instructions to enable the script in Violentmonkey.

This should restore the animated thumbnail previews for you.

Best regards,
Retefo Henry
