Block YouTube Shorts stores request headers sent to ChatGPT, including authentication-bearing headers.

Block YouTube Shorts listens for browser requests to chatgpt.com and saves the full request header list in local extension storage. Those headers can include cookies or other credentials, and this behavior is separate from blocking YouTube Shorts.
