Slow down Shorts. Keep YouTube.
Keep the video you came for. Add a little resistance to the next Short.
Resistance on the Shorts feed
scrollharder.lol reduces how far the Shorts feed moves in response to a wheel or touch gesture. At 10×, ten input pixels move the feed by one pixel. More resistance means more input before the next clip.
The control targets Shorts. Ordinary YouTube pages, typing, and player controls stay usable. This is an independent extension, not a YouTube setting.
Keyboard shortcuts stay consistent
While resistance is active, the extension also guards common Shorts advance keys. Otherwise one shortcut would undo the resistance you chose. Browser shortcuts and typing fields keep working.
Start gently, then review
The recommended 21-day plan starts at 10× resistance and increases each day to 2500×. The schedule runs automatically, without a time target or daily check-in. You can switch to manual mode, with fixed resistance from 50× to 2500×.
Your progress shows active feed time and posts viewed by website, day, week, and month. These are measurements of your use, not proof that resistance caused a change. Your personal history stays in your browser.
Questions
Does it block ordinary YouTube videos?
No. Resistance targets the Shorts feed. Regular YouTube navigation and player controls stay usable.
Does it work on mobile?
No. scrollharder.lol works in desktop Chrome and Brave, not the mobile apps.
Can I pause it?
In manual mode, yes. An active plan keeps resistance on for its selected feeds. Switch to manual to pause it or change selected feeds.
Do you collect feed content?
No. Your personal history stays local. Optional reporting shares usage totals with a random installation ID, without feed content, page URLs, your email, or your license key.
