About

Shortless removes YouTube Shorts from your feed – no account, no tracking, no servers.

  THREE MODES
  • Off – Shortless does nothing.
  • Hide all Shorts – Shorts disappear from home, search, channels and the sidebar.
  • Subscribed channels only – Shorts from channels you subscribe to stay visible; everything else is hidden.

  MORE OPTIONS
  • Hide the Shorts entry in the navigation.
  • Hide the Shorts tab on channel pages.
  • Auto-redirect /shorts/<id> to the regular player (/watch).
  • Custom channel whitelist.
  • Configurable cache lifetime for the subscription list.

  PRIVACY
  • No sign-in, no accounts, no analytics.
  • No external servers – everything runs locally in your browser.
  • Needs only access to youtube.com plus local storage for your settings.

  COMPATIBILITY
  • Desktop (www.youtube.com) and mobile web (m.youtube.com).
  • When signed out, all Shorts are hidden automatically.
