Features & Capabilities

YouTube shorts are inherently designed for mobile viewing and thus are undesirable on the desktop platform. However, by default the shorts are mixed into video feeds across the platform with no clear way to opt out or permanently hide them, unnecessarily clogging up grids and distracting from the actual content. To prevent this, SanShorts looks for any video tiles that are marked with the shorts icon and hides them from view. The extension doesn't aim to modify shorts playback or alter their functionality in any way, it just makes it easier to ignore them.

Is SanShorts 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.

SanShorts requires a few 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 Add-ons Store, 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.

SanShorts is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
