## BlockYT for Safari Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Good app but just one problem"
This app succeeded in blocking out the YT shorts for me however, there was also an option in the app that would block out the comments sections of videos for me and that’s where the problem is. Comment sections are as equal of a problem as shorts are. The app is unable to block the comment sections out despite checking if everything is in place and refreshing the pages over and over again. Please fix the comment section problem for me.

### *---- "Does not work"
Google likely modified the YouTube website so now it blocks all videos on the main feed from showing. You can see videos under subscriptions, but shorts show up so it’s not doing anything there.  If you click the shorts tab at the bottom shorts play, but that’s not really a downside. The problem is it doesn’t do anything to block shorts. The best I can tell it only blocks the home feed completely but nothing else changes.

### *---- "On MacOS beta"
I’m still seeing comments, side bar clutter and recommendations.
-- Josiah Pugh, 2024-08-16

### ***** "Perfect"
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed and I’m looking forward to gaining back the time I’ve been wasting on shorts
-- omghowaboutthisone, 2024-07-29

### *---- "Doesn’t work in the App"
Does this work in the YouTube app or only in safari browser?  If so, it’s not working for me at all. Still see recommendations and shorts after following installation instructions in the app :(
-- Busynurse5, 2024-04-17

### *---- "not working"

-- NotSoCrazyAboutU, 2024-01-18

### *---- "Doesn’t block shorts anymore"
Waste of three dollars
-- Buffering issues..., 2023-11-21

### *---- "Youtube now sees"
Youtube sees I installed thiis and it actually stops video play now. I dunno if anyone else is having the same issue. Please help
-- NotSoCrazyAboutU, 2023-10-21

### ***** "Finally, a good app that will block youtube shorts"
Shorts drain my life energy, but I do need the main youtube. This app does a great job blocking them since macos default blocker can't
-- Matt_on_mac, 2023-06-15

### ***** "Blocks Shorts!"
Thank you so much! I hate shorts on YouTube and now they are gone like they never existed!
