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.
I used this a long time and really liked it, just to rewrite the shorts url to the "normal" player. But now it doesn't show any shorts. And the option to "enable" them is marked as "unstable" and indeed, it is. No videos at all are displayed, so now it is unusable. I only need something to rewrite the urls..... Need to search for another extension....
「左メニューの"ショート"タブを非表示」は機能しているが、「ショート動画を非表示」機能が一切効かなくなりました。とても便利な拡張なので、修正を希望します。 >v1.4.1で修正致しました とのことですが、登録チャンネルのページではショート動画をブロック出来ないようです。ホームおよび検索結果ではブロック出来ています。登録チャンネルのページでもブロック出来るよう修正して頂けると嬉しいです。
no longer working at all. until it's fixed (if ever), i suggest people migrate over to the Hide YouTube Shorts addon, which is the only other extension i've found that works for me. there's another called ShortsBlocker as well.
Worked great until now. Stopped working today
it doesn't work anymore ! please help hate shorts !
My youtube home page started appearing as blank. After trying many things (restart browser, restart pc, clear cache and cookies) and having none of them fix the issue I tried disabling all my extensions and enabling one by one. Found that this extension was the culprit. Shame. It worked well for a long time.
This should be implemented in every browser.
With the new Google Chrome update, the Shorts can't be hidden anymoren from the subscription tab (hidding the shorts tab does still work).
stopped working on subscriptions page
doesn't work in subscriptions box
