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.
it works great but on win11 when watching videos for a while chrome stops working and doesnt load anything, you gotta exit and end the program by brute force. 5 stars when you fix that, in the meantime trying other alts.
Svůj účel to splnilo. Shorts jsou zlo. Pryč od toho.
Shorts suck, this doesn't.
Used to work perfectly: no stupid shorts anymore in my subscription box. However, a few weeks ago it sadly stopped working out of nowhere. I assume YouTube changed something in the way shorts are displayed and they are now not detected by the extension anymore?
1.4.0 Works on the mobile version of the website which is what I am using and so far it doesn't slow down the loading times or at least not that I can notice in my subscription feed. I use it in tandem with Unhook for YouTube and still don't see any performance dips. This extension does what it says it does. and it works well in my experience. Edit: I also use it with another extension called "Music Mode for YouTube" so in total that's 3 exstention on YouTube that all run together with no significant performance dip. and when you click on the short tab on YouTube it turns the first video into a normal video but their is no scrolling which is a feature I like but I won't even use because my other exstention hides the shorts tab... I think it's a good clarification for anyone looking into getting this extension
it just works
shorts still show up on subscriptions
F*** shorts
It was kinda okay to disable shorts in the suggested screen once in a month, but when YouTube added them permanently to the side bar that was it for me. Big thanks to the devs!!
Great extention
