About YouTube Grid & Shorts Blocker

This extension, named "YouTube Grid & Shorts Blocker," transforms the visual experience of YouTube. It converts the standard video list into a clean, customizable grid layout where users can adjust the size of video thumbnails to their preference, making it easier to browse more content at once. A key feature is its ability to comprehensively block and remove all YouTube Shorts content from the platform. This includes removing Shorts shelves from the homepage, deleting the Shorts tab from channel pages, and hiding the Shorts link from the navigation sidebar, effectively restoring a more traditional, long-form video browsing experience. Users can control these features through a simple and intuitive popup menu.
