About Scroll Pause

Short videos are designed for endless scrolling, which makes it easy to lose track of time. Scroll Pause adds a simple, time-based interruption to YouTube Shorts. Ten minutes into a viewing session, the extension pauses playback and presents a choice to continue watching or leave Shorts. The goal is not to block content, but to create a moment of awareness and intentional choice. Features: Session-based pause for YouTube Shorts Clear choice: continue watching or leave Shorts No accounts, no tracking, no content modification This extension runs locally in your browser and does not collect personal data.
