God bless you for making this. Works like a charm. The problem mentioned in the other review where the scroll bar jumps around doesn't seem to occur for me--perhaps it's been patched, or perhaps it is only an issue on some systems.

An actual godsend, every time I have to setup a new browser and forget to install this I am instantly reminded of just how integral this one, single extension is.

Works, but causes scrolling to jump around when it hides things

gets the job done perfectly blocks shorts and youtube playables

Finally an extension that actually does its job properly! Works great :)

Ah, the YouTube Shorts Extension—where do I even begin? I’ve encountered countless browser extensions in my digital sojourn, each one promising to enhance my browsing experience, but this, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 is the Mona Lisa of extensions, the Michelangelo's David of internet tools, the unequivocal masterpiece I never knew I needed but now can’t imagine my YouTube life without. It is, in short, the fortress that stands tall in the battlefield of algorithmic drivel, the unsung hero that dares to challenge the encroaching tide of brain-numbing, attention-depleting content. Let me paint you a picture: You sit down, ready to bask in the intellectual glow of a 30-minute documentary about quantum mechanics or perhaps a delicately produced tutorial on woodworking. But wait—what's that? A Short? ANOTHER SHORT? Unbidden, they appear, not unlike gnats at a summer picnic, buzzing around your sacred feed, inviting you to descend into their black hole of three-second dopamine hits. Ah, but not anymore. Not with this extension. This extension doesn’t merely block YouTube Shorts; no, no, no. That would be far too pedestrian, far too trivial for the genius of its design. What it does is 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 you. It takes the very essence of what it means to browse YouTube—the pursuit of knowledge, of creativity, of content with depth and substance—and clears the path for you to engage with it uninterrupted, untarnished by fleeting distractions. It’s as if you’ve been living in a dystopian nightmare where all you’ve known are snack-sized morsels of useless trivia, and then suddenly, a light pierces the clouds. The YouTube Shorts Extension is that light. Imagine it: no more pointless swipeable videos where influencers demonstrate dubious dance moves or offer lukewarm life advice in 30-second bursts. Instead, your YouTube experience becomes a veritable oasis of long-form, well-thought-out content, like an uninterrupted opera of human expression. It's as though the extension has become a benevolent gatekeeper, standing firm at the entrance to your YouTube experience, turning away every unworthy distraction, allowing only the highest quality content to pass. Home screen? Cleansed. Video pop-ups? Banished. It’s not just an extension—it’s a purification ritual for your browser. It doesn’t merely block; it performs a kind of exorcism, casting out every last fragment of "short-form brain rot" with surgical precision. You won’t even be redirected to some underworld of looping 15-second nonsense. No, the YouTube Shorts Extension respects your intelligence and does its job with elegance and grace. I must admit, there’s something almost spiritual about the experience of using this extension. To navigate YouTube without being bombarded by Shorts is to rediscover the platform in its purest form, as though you’ve taken off a pair of sunglasses that were distorting your view for years. You’re here for a journey, an odyssey of knowledge, a banquet of wisdom—and this extension is your faithful companion on that path. Do I have anything bad to say about the YouTube Shorts Extension? Could I even if I tried? Nay, dear reader, for it is perfection distilled into digital form. It’s like finally having a doorman for your YouTube browsing, one who waves in the well-dressed, interesting guests and gives the cold shoulder to the noisy party crashers in cargo shorts and flip-flops. It understands what you want—nay, what you 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 —from YouTube and delivers it with an unmatched finesse. In conclusion, let us all take a moment to bask in the glory of this extension, to appreciate the quiet dignity with which it does its work. It doesn’t ask for thanks; it asks only for your respect. And respect it, you will. For in the vast and often chaotic ocean of the internet, the YouTube Shorts Extension is your lighthouse, guiding you safely away from the rocks of mindless distraction and toward the shores of intellectual fulfillment. Bravo.
