Shorts View Time: A Simple YouTube Shorts Tracking Extension
Shorts View Time is a free Chrome extension developed by NeonCoding. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension provides a straightforward functionality of tracking the time spent scrolling through YouTube shorts and the number of shorts watched.
The main purpose of Shorts View Time is to display a small counter on YouTube shorts pages on desktop. This counter shows the duration of time spent and the number of shorts scrolled through. The counter is specific to each window of the page and will reset upon refreshing the page. However, it will not reset when navigating to a different page within the same tab.
The developer's intention behind this extension is to raise awareness about excessive scrolling on YouTube shorts. While the current version focuses solely on YouTube shorts, there may be plans to expand its functionality to other applications in the future. For now, Shorts View Time remains true to its purpose and provides a simple way to track your YouTube shorts viewing habits.
