ShortsBlocker

Hide YouTube Shorts UI and redirect /shorts/* to /watch?v=... — with a popup toggle and channel allowlist.

ShortsBlocker hides only YouTube Shorts. Everything else stays. • Removes Shorts from Home, Search, and the sidebar • Redirects any /shorts/VIDEO to the regular /watch?v=VIDEO page • Popup toggle: quickly enable/disable • Temporary allow: let Shorts through for 10 minutes • Channel allowlist: keep Shorts from creators you choose What it DOESN’T do • Doesn’t block long-form videos, comments, subscriptions, or recommendations • Doesn’t replace the YouTube UI or force search-first navigation Why these permissions • “Storage”: save your enable/disable state, allowlist, and temporary-allow timer • Site access to youtube.com only: to hide Shorts elements and handle redirects Privacy • No data collection, no analytics, no remote requests. All settings stay in your browser. Tips • Add a creator’s @handle or channel URL in the popup to allow their Shorts • Use the 10-minute allow when you want a brief break, then it auto-locks Open source / support • Add your GitHub repo or contact email here
