No More Shorts

No More Shorts gives you two ways to beat the pull of YouTube Shorts: a timer just for Shorts, or block Shorts completely. You decide what fits you. One Short. Just one. Forty minutes later you can't remember what you watched, but the time is gone. No More Shorts breaks exactly that loop. Not all or nothing, but two ways that fit you. 🛑 MODE 1: BLOCK COMPLETELY For everyone who simply wants to be done with Shorts. Shorts disappear for good: • from the homepage and your subscriptions • from the left sidebar (the "Shorts" entry) • from search results • from the "Shorts" tab on channel pages And if you, or a link, still end up on a Shorts page, you get redirected automatically to the regular YouTube player. As if Shorts had never existed. ⏱ MODE 2: LOOP TIMER (the smart way) For everyone who doesn't want to ban Shorts entirely, but doesn't want to get lost in them either. A single Short is perfectly fine, the timer only kicks in once you've been stuck for too long in one go: • LIVE COUNTDOWN: A small badge in the top right shows you at any moment how much time you have left in this round. • GENTLE ENDING: When time is up, nothing is cut off mid-video, the Short that's currently playing is allowed to finish. • OUT OF THE LOOP: After that, you're taken back to the homepage automatically. • EVERY ROUND STARTS FRESH: As soon as you leave Shorts and browse normally again, the timer resets to zero. Find another interesting Short later, no problem. The timer doesn't punish you for looking, it only protects you from sinking in. How many minutes "in a row" you allow yourself is entirely up to you. WHY IT WORKS The Shorts loop runs on autopilot: swipe, swipe, swipe, without a single decision. No More Shorts interrupts that reflex at exactly the right moment. Visible enough to wake you up. Gentle enough not to patronize you. Often that small interruption is all it takes to consciously say: "Ok, that's enough."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS "Can I still watch individual Shorts?" Yes, in timer mode. Only endless scrolling gets slowed down. "Does it lock me out for the whole day?" No. The timer is not a daily limit. As soon as you leave Shorts, the next round starts fresh. "Does it slow YouTube down?" No. The extension is minimal and only becomes active on YouTube pages. "Is any of my data stored somewhere?" Only your own settings, and only locally in your browser. Nothing else. Put an end to endless swiping, without giving up YouTube entirely.
