YouTube Shorts Focus Fix tekijä SpecT1e

Tired of YouTube Shorts jumping back to a previous video every time you switch windows or tabs? YouTube Shorts Focus Fix is a lightweight browser extension built to solve this exact issue.

When you watch a Short, interact with the comments or likes, and then scroll down, the browser holds active focus on the old video element. As soon as you switch to another window (e.g., to notepad or a browser tab) and return, the browser automatically scrolls back to center the focused element, making you lose your place in the feed.

This extension implements a dual-layer local stabilizer:
1. Proactive Focus Blurring: Automatically removes focus (blur) from elements inside inactive Shorts when the browser loses focus or the tab is hidden.
2. Intelligent Scroll Guard: Temporarily attaches a high-speed scroll stabilizer for 350ms upon window focus. If a browser-induced "ghost scroll" is detected, it immediately restores your exact scroll position and blurs the element.

Key Features:
- 100% Local: No tracking, no analytics, and no network connections. Your privacy is fully respected.
- Zero Performance Impact: The scroll listeners are dynamically loaded and only run during the brief window focus phase, consuming 0% CPU during normal viewing.
- Real-time Activity Logs: View a live tally and timestamped log of prevented focus jumps directly in the popup interface.
