Great extension, but it doesn't work for YouTube shorts. The options don't appear when clicking the menu button under shorts.

before youtube had thumbnail hover previews there was an extension that would randomly pick images from different parts of the video and this helped you avoid scam videos, for some reason this extension no longer works, and since youtube now feels like playing the full video when hovering over it (which I find annoying for this counts as a view), this extension is the next best thing. thank you for making it.

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.

YouTube Clickbait-Buster requires very minimum permissions.
