YouTube Hidden Shorts

About

YouTube Hidden Shorts removes Shorts from YouTube so you get back a clean, regular video experience.

It works everywhere Shorts show up:
• Home and subscriptions feed — Shorts shelves are removed
• Search and grid results — individual Shorts are filtered out
• Sidebar (full and mini) — the Shorts nav entry is hidden
• Channel pages — the Shorts tab is removed

Bonus: if you open a Short link, it loads in the normal video player instead of the vertical Shorts UI (youtube.com/shorts/ID → youtube.com/watch?v=ID).

Why you'll like it:
• Always on — no buttons, no setup. Install and it just works.
• Lightweight — pure CSS hiding plus a tiny redirect script. No bloat.
• Private by design — no analytics, no accounts, no network calls. Runs only on youtube.com.
• Open source (MIT).

To turn it off, just disable the extension in chrome://extensions.

Note: YouTube changes its page structure often. If a Short ever slips through, please open an issue on GitHub and it'll be fixed.
