AI 产品解读YouTube Shorts blocking and redirection extension that converts Shorts URLs to regular video player URLs and hides Shorts content
Users who dislike the YouTube Shorts vertical video format and poor desktop UI can automatically redirect Shorts to play in the regular video player with better controls
1. User installs extension and it activates automatically on YouTube pages
2. When navigating to a Shorts URL, extension intercepts and redirects to regular video player
3. Extension monitors DOM changes and hides Shorts content (tabs, video thumbnails) based on user settings
4. User can toggle features on/off via the popup menu (enable/disable extension, hide Shorts tab, hide Shorts videos)

- YouTube desktop users who prefer the regular video player over the Shorts format / Users who want a cleaner YouTube experience without Shorts recommendations / Users who find the Shorts UI poorly optimized for PC
- Extension popup UI is partially in Japanese, indicating primary target audience may be Japanese users
- The 'hide shorts video' feature is marked as unstable in the UI warning
付费分析未识别到付费功能
The extension is completely free with no payment processing, subscription management, or premium feature gating. All features (redirect shorts, hide shorts tab, hide shorts videos, extended GUI) are available without any paywall. The keyword 'subscription' hit was from _metadata/verified_contents.json (Chrome's signature file), and 'pro' hits were false positives from 'properly' text and JavaScript Promise objects.

- The extension operates entirely locally without any authentication system. It only uses chrome.storage.local to save user preferences. No login UI, no user account creation, no authentication tokens, and no external service authentication are present in the codebase.
This has been breaking YouTube comment replies for months, and I had no idea this was causing it. But it does what it supposed to do
So good—it fixed my issues, and TubeLens solved my video analysis problems!
good
An excellent extension. I use it together with the TubeLens summary extension, and the combination is absolutely amazing — plus, both extensions are completely free.
ついにあの無駄な現象から解放された。これのお陰でちゃんとしたことに時間を使うことが出来る。
会导致评论的回复无法查看,排查了好一会儿才发现。
Excellent. Removes the short slop from Youtube. This should be a native option on the youtube webapp. Thanks for building this extension.
It looks like there’s a bug where replies to comments on YouTube posts are not being displayed.
Nice ! It works as expected ! (still need to check the "reply to post" issue mentioned elsewhere)
Less scrolling
