Description
Filters Shorts from YouTube notifications and optionally redirects Shorts URLs to regular watch pages. YouTube is high-jacking your notification stack to inject dopamine-loop Shorts. Most users are passive consumers of this algorithmic noise; you are not. YouTube Shorts Notification Filter is a surgical patch designed to reclaim your attention surface. No bloat. No "AI" recommendations. Just raw, chronological notification feeds. - Notification Purge: Automatically intercepts and drops Shorts-type packets from your bell dropdown and global notification feed. - Protocol Upgrade: Force-convert /shorts fragments to full /watch instances, bypassing the vertical doom-scroll player. - Creator Whitelist: Persistent overrides for specific creators. Their content stays; the noise goes. - Zero-Telemetry Policy: No analytics. No external pings. No black-box AI. Just pure, client-side logic that you can audit on GitHub. --- v1.1.1 - Stability Patch Bug Fixes: - Fixed popup not loading settings correctly - Fixed settings toggles causing extension to freeze - Resolved communication timeouts between popup and background service Performance: - Unified message handling for improved reliability - Optimized batch write operations - Faster settings response time --- v1.1.0 - Initial Prototype Version
