Shorts Exterminator: YouTube Shorts Blocker

Instantly hide YouTube Shorts to reclaim your focus and inspiration. Stop doomscrolling and get back to what matters most.

Tired of losing hours to the endless scroll of bite-sized, AI-generated distractions? Shorts Exterminator is designed for the intentional viewer who wants to get back to the heart of what makes YouTube great: deep-dive tutorials, thought-provoking video essays, and high-quality storytelling. By instantly hiding YouTube Shorts across your Home, Channels, Navigation bar, and Search feeds, this extension forces a shift in how you consume content. Instead of "doomscrolling" through a chaotic mix of low-effort clips, you’ll find yourself naturally gravitating toward the long-form videos that truly spark your creativity and inspiration. What's New (Version 1.2.0) - Refined Codebase: Refactored the backend to be more modular. - Performance fix: fixed issue with shorts appearing in search feed. - Maintenance: Expect regular patches as I use it daily to keep up with YouTube's layout changes.
