Features & Capabilities

Ever found yourself at 4am, wondering why you didn't go to bed at midnight when you told your friends you would and stopped playing video games? You sat down with your laptop, said, "I'll watch one video, then sleep." Then it happened -- 240 movie clips interspersed with oversexualized bait and AI voiceover later, you regret everything and want to die. This extension checks if you're on a shorts page, and redirects you back to the homepage. Do something else with your life.

Is Begone Shorts 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.

Begone Shorts requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
