About Arivuno — Hide YouTube Shorts
Hide YouTube Shorts and keep the regular videos you came for. Arivuno removes
known Shorts entry points and interrupts the Shorts feed with a local block
screen. It is free, works locally in your browser, and needs no account.
Use YouTube without the short-form feed:
- Hide Shorts shelves, cards, navigation links, and channel tabs.
- Interrupt direct and in-page navigation to YouTube Shorts.
- Go back from the local interruption page, with YouTube Home as the fallback
when no previous browser-history entry is available.
- Open one selected clip in YouTube's regular player without opening the Shorts
feed.
GET STARTED
Install Arivuno, read the local-processing disclosure, and choose Enable
Arivuno. Then open or reload YouTube. You can turn it off at any time from the
browser toolbar.
After installation, Arivuno stays off until the user reviews the in-extension
disclosure and chooses **Enable Arivuno**. Closing the disclosure or choosing
**Not now** leaves it off. Before activation, Arivuno does not inspect or change
YouTube pages. Open Arivuno from the browser toolbar to manage or disable it at
any time.
To provide these features, Arivuno locally processes the current YouTube URL,
YouTube link destinations, visible page structure, and ordinary click or
activation events on YouTube pages. It uses click or activation events only to
determine whether the activated element is a Shorts link, and uses all of this
data only to identify and block Shorts entry points and pages. Arivuno does not
retain or automatically transmit this locally processed data. If the user
deliberately chooses Watch once, Arivuno navigates to YouTube's regular player
with the selected validated video identifier; YouTube's terms and privacy
policy apply there.
The Storage permission remembers only the local activation choice. The
Scripting permission registers or removes Arivuno's packaged script and
stylesheet after that choice. Site access is limited to YouTube. The background
service worker only opens the manage page and coordinates that local activation
and registration; it does not inspect tabs or make network requests.
Arivuno has no Arivuno account, analytics, telemetry, advertising, backend, or
remote configuration. The extension does not request access to other sites.
Arivuno is an independent extension and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or
produced by YouTube or Google.
