YT Unshorted

About

Hides anything Shorts-related across your entire YouTube experience

ABOUT
	- I made this for myself because I kept getting distracted by Shorts. It’s a simple CSS-only solution to hide YouTube Shorts, shared here in case it helps others too
	- The Extension is free

USAGE 
	- How to use:
		1. Install the extension
		2. Reload or open YouTube
	- How It works:
		- Uses only CSS, with no JavaScript injection
		- Targets Shorts-related elements (mainly through the `:has()` selector)
		- Hides them using `display: none !important`
	- Troubleshooting
		-  If something doesn’t seem to work, try any of the following:
	            - Go to `chrome://extensions/` and toggle the extension off and on
	            - Reload the YouTube page
		    - Restart your browser
		    - Reinstall the extension

BROWSER SUPPORT
	- Works on browsers that support the CSS `:has()` selector
	- Recommended: **Chrome 105+** or any modern Chromium-based browser

PRIVACY 
	- Doesn’t track you, collect, or use any data
	- Doesn’t connect to any external server
	- Doesn’t access, collect, or modify information on any site you visit
	- Works under Manifest V3 and requires no permissions

LIMITATION
	- Support is limited to browsers with `:has()` support
	- It doesn’t convert `/shorts/` URLs into regular watch pages, since it has no JS capability

HELP
	- If you spot any Shorts that aren't hidden or have recommendations, feel free to share them or contribute to the repo: https://github.com/CJ-Cepe/yt-unshorted
