Shorts Blocker for YouTube

works like a charm, i hate youtube for not giving us the option. those shorts will take away years from your lifespan. THANK YOU

Thank you, it works perfectly fine. I have been using the YouTube website for a while to limit distractions but I still got distracted sometimes. This is very helpful. I also like how if you click a short from a channel then it redirects to the original web player. That $1 buck is worth an upcoming wasted hour. Even if it’s just one hour…

I love the fact that this only works on Safari and not the app itself because then I can pair it with my blocker! I can finally watch YouTube without getting distracted by those stupid shorts. My brain can finally relax!

The extension works beautifully! One star reviews are most likely from people who did not read the description on limitations / installation as I have had no issues. NOTE: This is a SAFARI EXTENSION and only works in your browser (going to youtube.com in the safari app) and NOT in the YouTube app. There is no other way to browse YouTube on your phone without seeing shorts as of right now as YouTube does not offer that as a setting in the app. So happy people are making tools like this! Thank you!!

My life is significantly improved! I will be evangelizing this app! If you’re having trouble finding the Aa button, it is in the safari search bar, not the YouTube search bar.

Got this app to prevent my kid from endlessly run shorts. No dice. Every channel i see shorts is an option. Hit the aA, sure enough shorts blocker is active. Does nothing.

Open YouTube on safari. Where is Aa. ?????????? Never find out

It doesn’t do a darn thing. I still find shorts all the time. Nothing is blocked. No options to remove, stop, prevent, etc. useless.

Nvm

The other app that does this gets rid of your recommendation feed; this one does not. It is perfect. I've been looking for something like this forever. I have ADHD and generally try to avoid social media for that reason, but I can't let go of long-form YouTube videos... and I also have zero willpower to stop myself from watching Shorts. This does that for me. Thanks :)
