Doesn't work on youtube shorts. even when I disable ambient mode in the shorts setting it's still active.

Works as expected, before rating poorly know that a simple refresh will not make it work, you need to switch to a new video. I just clicked a random video then hit back to go to the one I wanted to watch.

Is Ambient Mode Blocker Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Ambient Mode Blocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
