No YouTube Shorts

About

Take back your YouTube experience. No YouTube Shorts removes all Shorts content from YouTube so you can focus on the videos you actually want to watch.

WHAT IT DOES:

Hides the Shorts shelf on the homepage and search results
Removes the Shorts tab from the sidebar navigation
Suppresses Shorts recommendations in your feed
Automatically redirects /shorts/ URLs to the standard video player (/watch)
Works on all YouTube pages including subscriptions and trending
FEATURES:

One-click enable/disable toggle from the popup
Granular controls: independently toggle hiding, redirects, and sidebar removal
Instant activation — no page reload required
Lightweight: under 20KB, zero impact on browsing speed
PRIVACY:

Zero data collection — no analytics, no tracking, no telemetry
No external network requests — everything runs 100% locally
No account required

PERMISSIONS:
This extension only requests access to youtube.com. It uses storage to save your toggle preferences locally. That's it — nothing more.

WHO IT'S FOR:

Anyone tired of doomscrolling through Shorts
Parents who want to limit short-form content
Professionals who use YouTube for learning, not distractions
Anyone who prefers the standard video player over the Shorts viewer
Built with Manifest V3. Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, and all Chromium browsers.
