About

A helpful little extension for YouTube Shorts!
Mainly, it remembers the shorts you've watched and marks them for you (including when you watched it). You can also set the option to automatically skip previously watched shorts.

Setup instructions:
1. Download the extension
2. Start browsing, that's it!

By default, skipping previously watched shorts is off, you can configure that in the Options page (Click the extension icon -> Options -> Don't forget to save!).
If a short is automatically skipped, you can still scroll back up to watch it again if you want.
If you need to move history between devices, the Options page lets you export and import history files. 

Feel free to let me know if you have any improvements or feature requests you'd like to see!
