About this extension

Hello!
This is an addon that I created for my personal use as I want to be able to use Youtube while I am working/studying without being tempted by short videos. Feel free to use this addon yourself as well if you prefer to be recommended longer form content.

What can YT Shorts Blocker do for you?

Hide videos under 4 minutes long
Hide all shorts content
Disable shorts button
Work on mobile and desktop
Redirect "/shorts/" to "/watch?v"

What data does YT Shorts Blocker collect?
None! This addon will also only be active when you are on https://www.youtube.com/ or https://m.youtube.com/ unlike similar addons.

This addon does not prevent you from watching any videos, however it will hide recomendations for short videos. Does not hide short videos when searching.

Works on both the desktop and mobile versions of Youtube.

Planned Features

Know Issues

Resizing page can hide wrong videos [Desktop]
Video previews of hidden videos can be clicked [Mobile]

Note
I do not plan on adding an option to toggle the addon on/off as this would defeat the purpose of using it in the first place.
