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.
Does exactly what it claims to, without any unintended side effects. 5/5 extension.
Thank you
AntiLowIQ Content Missile upon Youtube. To the hell with the YT Shorts and Tiktok.
MANY thanks for making this!
Amazing, before when it had the shorts tab and you watch it at a normal video was good enough but then I ended up reclicking the shorts button. Now you've removed the whole shorts tab so this is so helpful thanks so much!
Amazing. YouTube shorts is purely degenerative (at least for me). I'm glad that I no longer have to rely on my own will to not scroll for hours. Thank you. You have made my life so much better with just a simple extension. I just wish I had something like this on mobile.
Exactly what I needed and it is open source. Sadly video sites are moving to a bad direction.
감사합니다
I was just completely blocking shorts from showing up on my desktop, but this is a better solution. more GOD AWFUL UI on youtubes part, cause fug desktop users I guess.
I hate the direction video sites are going in. I love this extension. 5 big old stars.
