AntiReels

Short Content Blocker: Block short content from Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

AntiReels is a lightweight Chrome extension crafted to help users maintain focus and enhance productivity by blocking short video content on popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Designed for individuals who often find themselves distracted by incessant short videos during work or study hours, AntiReels effectively stops endless scrolling behavior that can impact concentration.

By filtering out short-form content, this tool creates a cleaner browsing experience, allowing users to allocate time to more meaningful tasks without the temptation of quick, distracting clips. Its simplicity and targeted functionality make AntiReels an essential aid for anyone looking to minimize social media interruptions and improve daily efficiency.

Does not remove Reels from Facebook.

It works well. Suggested improvement: Enable all the sites by default, instead of disabling them by default

Extension safety

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.

AntiReels requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

AntiReels has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
