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)

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.
Bro I searched and it was 99% shorts, shorts are a freaking plague.
It's great but a good feature would be to allow me to click onto the search results "shorts" tab. If I explicitly want to see shorts (for example for a recipe) I should be allowed to. I actually think this is a bug as it causes funny loading behaviour. Otherwise flawless, great job.
THANK YOU, wish i had this on my phone too
thank you for making this extenstion. 5 stars because I downloaded it 30 seconds ago and it got baity shorts out of my suggested videos. It also works lol.
simple
Ah mate, absolute champ, was losing me mind with uknowhat removed from chrome.
Amazing Amazing Amazing The biggest thing I like about this is the fact it doesn't remove YT Shorts- it keeps them, but removes their addictive structure. Nowadays, a lot of creators are moving to shorts to post valuable content there, and there is not always the problem with the content- the problem is with the structure of shorts. This extension keeps the short, so you can view them, but can't scroll- which is amazing. It is more difficult for you to get into a loop of swiping brainless reels
Youtube has lost its mind, it used to be a social that earned from your time but gave something back, now it tries to suck your soul Tik Tok style, thank god there are developers who fight against this commodification of time. What is the purpose of these companies, make more and more money endlessly?
Simplemente maravillosa
