## General Settings

### Enable PhishProtect

Master switch to enable or disable all protection features

### Show Notifications

Display desktop notifications for security events

### Clipboard Protection

Monitor and block malicious clipboard operations

### Retroactive alert sync

Warn you if a site you signed into is later flagged malicious. Always works on this device; enabling sync (requires sign-in) lets alerts also reach you by email and on your other devices. Only salted hashes are synced — never the plaintext of your browsing.

### Help detect malicious extensions

Lets Nithic analyse extensions that are widely installed, so new malicious ones are caught sooner. Your extension list is never sent. Each extension is reported as a one-way code derived from a secret that never leaves this device, and the codes for your different extensions cannot be linked back together. An extension is only looked at once several unrelated devices report it. Requires an extra browser permission, asked for when you turn this on.

## HTTP Protection Settings

### Parental content guidance ALPHA

New and not yet widely tested. Everything below is off by default and changes only YouTube. If something looks wrong — especially missing audio while rating is on — switch these off and it stops immediately.

### YouTube Shorts

Shorts autoplay endlessly with no natural stopping point. Open in the normal player keeps the video but drops the infinite feed, so nothing is taken away — it just ends. Off by default.

### Hide Shorts Shelves

Also remove Shorts rows from Home, Search, Subscriptions and the sidebar

### Stop Autoplay

Don't auto-advance to the next video. The next video is still one click away.

### Hide Recommendations

Remove the related-videos rail, end-of-video suggestions, in-video cards and Mixes. Playlists are kept.

### Home Feed → Subscriptions

Open Subscriptions instead of the algorithmic home page — a finite list they chose

### Hide Comments

Remove the comment section

### Hide Live Chat

Remove live chat on streams and premieres

### Hide Notification Badge

Remove the unread count on the bell — the pull back to the app

### Rate What They Watch

Scores each video's captions for vocabulary, filler and repetition, and keeps a weekly summary. Everything stays on this device — the transcript is discarded after scoring and nothing is ever uploaded. This does record a viewing history locally, so it is off unless you turn it on.

### This Week

Nothing scored yet. Ratings appear here after some viewing.
