i don't think there's any other extension that does this but I don't like that the code is gone and it seems like it was vibecoded

Have enjoyed previous versions, but it's not blocking ads on Shorts anymore. The GitHub links are also dead now and it hasn't been updated since February. I'm concerned that this project may be no more.
