About PantsOnly - Block YouTube Shorts

PantsOnly removes Shorts throughout YouTube while leaving ordinary videos intact. It handles Home, Search, Subscriptions, channel pages, recommendations, navigation links, infinite scrolling, and direct Shorts URLs. The blocker uses YouTube renderer names, semantic attributes, and /shorts destinations instead of depending on a single fragile CSS class. It continually handles YouTube's single-page navigation and restores nodes if YouTube recycles them into ordinary video cards. Privacy is deliberately simple: no analytics, accounts, ads, remote code, data collection, or extension-originated network requests. All matching happens locally in the browser. Source code and issue reporting are available from the project homepage. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC. This project is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google or YouTube.
