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.
Takes an extra second after clicking on the short, but it's worth every second. Also like how clicking the back button just sends me back instead of an infinite loop. Baffles me how YouTube thought putting a shorts player on PC, AND converting short old videos to shorts was a good idea. Thank you.
omg. thank you lord! youtube , you're such a copy-catassshit, you should change your name to tiktube. your video is too small, the title blocks the video, the comments blocks the entire screen. Just total BS! Thanks for this Plugin!!
Thank you for realising my PC isn't a f##king TikTok app.
best app i never seen like this
Shorts are probably the worst thing Google has implemented. I can deal with shadow banning, censorship, and false copyright takedowns, but not shorts. It's a terrible format that I'm not intelligent enough to write out legibly. Something in my core hates this. You need this extension, it will enhance your life in many ways. Mentally and physically. I got two inches because of this app. But don't keep this to yourself, share this with others and if you have a bug friend just sneak onto his/her PC, install it, and then unpin it. He/she will never notice if they're the type of person who would enjoy Shorts or TikTok. I'd give this 10 stars but I don't know how to get this on my iPhone.
Братан, я тебя обожаю!
Works perfectly :) Thank you!!
Now I can watch my favorite short videos in their actual quality instead of squinting at a video for ants.
Yes, something to block YouTube's worst feature yet.
sooo perfect thanks dude. hate the shorts format on pc
