working thank you

It didn't work initially, But after reloading YouTube a few times it works perfectly! (I'm running the Opera GX browser) It does exactly as advertised. It completely removes the scroll function for YouTube shorts. If you dislike doomscrolling and yet find yourself scrolling, this extension is great. And if you ever get the need for scrolling, just turn the extension off for a moment.
