About YouTube Shorts Blocker

YouTube Shorts Blocker removes Shorts from YouTube by hiding Shorts shelves, removing the Shorts sidebar button, disabling Shorts links, and redirecting Shorts pages back to the homepage. The extension is lightweight, fast, and privacy-friendly. It does not collect data, track users, or use analytics. All functionality runs locally in the browser.
