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.
Works amazing! tired of seeing shorts and it removed the button and everything. thank you!
useful
It does as it says. I tried a similar extension that did the same thing, but that one would freeze all open chrome tabs for 5-10 seconds when youtube was opened and any audio that was playing would stop. This extension doesn't do that, so it's great. :)
I don't mind shorts so I downloaded this to have them show as a normal video and for that it works perfectly. That being said I don't like that it hides shorts completely by default now because I never wanted that functionality and wasn't even aware it could do that. Not to mention that I thought it was a problem with youtube at first.
Great extension, works perfect
For some reason, it does not work since the last update. Videos still playing with the default short player. I have already uninstall and reinstall but nothing change.
Works great. If you're dumb like me remember to refresh the page or possibly close and reopen your youtube tab when you install this :P
love it
Great double functionality. You can either hide shorts from your feed completely, or keep them around but change the annoying shorts UI into the normal video UI.
this didnt remove only change to normal video... bla bla
