Stop Shorts

Prevents YouTube Shorts from automatically looping when they finish playing.

Tired of YouTube Shorts replaying on loop? Stop Shorts pauses the video when it ends, giving you control over what to watch next. When a Short finishes, it simply pauses on the last frame. You can tap to replay, swipe to the next Short, or just move on. No more infinite loops. FEATURES - Prevents YouTube Shorts from automatically looping - One-click toggle to enable or disable - Works with swipe navigation between Shorts - Lightweight -- no data collection, no external requests - Syncs your preference across Chrome instances HOW IT WORKS The extension detects when a Short finishes playing and pauses the video. YouTube's own controls (swipe, tap to replay, like, comment, share) all continue to work normally. Toggle the extension on or off anytime by clicking the Stop Shorts icon in your toolbar. PERMISSIONS - Storage: saves your enabled/disabled preference - YouTube access: required to detect and pause Shorts videos No data is collected or transmitted. See our privacy policy for details.
