About Synaptimo Focus: YouTube Shorts Blocker
YouTube Shorts Blocker helps you stay focused by automatically redirecting
YouTube Shorts to the main YouTube homepage.
When you accidentally click on a Shorts link or navigate to Shorts content, this
extension displays a friendly warning message and redirects you back to regular
YouTube after a 3-second countdown. This gives you time to be mindful of your
browsing habits while preventing endless scrolling through short-form content.
Perfect for users who want to:
- Reduce time spent on addictive short-form videos
- Maintain focus during work or study sessions
- Break the habit of mindless scrolling
- Still access regular YouTube content without restrictions
The extension works automatically - no configuration needed. Simply install and
it will quietly monitor your YouTube browsing, only activating when Shorts
content is detected.
Features:
• Automatic detection of YouTube Shorts URLs
• Gentle 3-second warning before redirect
• Clean, non-intrusive interface
• Works with all types of Shorts navigation
• Zero impact on regular YouTube functionality
• No data collection or tracking
Take control of your YouTube experience and eliminate distractions with YouTube Shorts Blocker.
