ASTRO for YouTube Shorts: Auto-Scroll & Control

About

ASTRO Shorts Controller is a Chrome extension that helps you watch YouTube Shorts with more control, less distraction, and better flow.

Instead of default Shorts behavior, ASTRO gives you smart playback and layout tools so you can watch the way you want, whether you’re learning, researching, or just browsing.

What you can do with ASTRO:

- Control YouTube Shorts playback with floating on-screen controls
- Enable Auto-Next for continuous Shorts viewing
- Set speed presets for faster or slower playback
- PIP mode (Picture in Picture)
- Skip forward or rewind by custom seconds
- Hide sidebar and navbar for a cleaner, distraction-free view
- Switch instantly between Normal, Focus, and Immersive profiles
- Use Accessibility Mode with larger controls and reduced motion
- Turn on Immersive Mode for a cinematic blurred background
- Track viewing analytics: watched today, total watched, average speed, and - session time
- Choose where it runs: Shorts only or all YouTube videos
- Exclude specific channels and use resilience fallbacks for layout changes

ASTRO is built for people who want a better YouTube Shorts experience: more control, better focus, and smarter playback.
