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)

- 目标用户
- 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

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.
It has only just occurred to me to search for this. Youtube Shorts is the worst thing they've done so far (counting the ads!). Thank you so much for taking the time to make this extension available.
oh thank god it works, thank you for making this
Muito bom, o Youtube fica tentando empurrar essa desgraça de Shorts goela a baixo, deu até uma paz agora.
Спасибо, работает и долой мусор!
Finally, no more brainrot
Well..it WAS working great! But then they came back today. Hope you can fix this soon.
It didn't work :(
I hate youtube shorts so much. This plugin is so awesome.
Awesome extension! But there's a way to do this without the extension. So, go to you're address bar whatever browser your on, press YouTube Shorts if you haven't, remove shorts on the address bar, and type video. This will change the short into a video. But if you want to force shorts coming up then add this extension. Hope this helps!
I am glad I found this... Its amazing I haven't been on youtube for the past 3 hours now if it weren't for this I'd be scrolling right now
