- I needed this while ago but there wasn't one. Finally I am saved. This will change my life.
- Keksimus Maximus
- Good stuff, but right now I had to disable it because with the new youtube UI it fks up the new threaded comment thing. You can't expand any comments with this extension. Hoping for a fix!
- Raúl P
- It used to work well, but now it breaks the replies on the comment section of the videos, which means that you cannot see them anymore
- Sarah Erickson
- This works at hiding the shorts for me which is great! Youtube is the only social media I have left, and I really enjoy a lot of content on there, but the shorts were taking too much of my time and making me consider deleting/turning away from Youtube as well. That would have been a shame though, because there are some content creators I genuinely enjoy and watch as my primary source of entertainment. This extension has solved my issue, thanks!
- Andrew W
- !!! Guys this extension hides all comment replies! Please look into it! I have to disable it to see any comment replies.

- awesome app, works as advertised. however these days shorts are plenty, my request would be to add option to 'show shorts on search page' Thank you!
- Lauri Kara
- 5/5: it works. Let's pray for the internet gods to keep YouTube usable by allowing apps like these. Shorts are from the depths of hell.
- Thomas Bombadillio
- Does not block shorts at all. If anything there were more shorts. Description doesn't even mention blocking. It says this is for playing shorts in the normal video player. A complete lie in name. It's actually a shorts enhancer, not blocker.
- Aayra
- doesnt work for blocking shorts
- Dd Promto

- Trent Isaacson
- Doesn't work at all. Steps: 1. Navigate to youtube.com 2. Perform a search 3. Shorts appear in results 4. Uninstall Youtube-shorts block extension in frustration.
- Man Pig
- 1.5.3 not work anymore?
- Ignatius Zen
- Must have for YouTube. It misses some shorts in search results, but it's better than nothing.
- Robert Gaines
- Oh, God, I love this extension so much! I realized I hadn't installed it yet after I reinstalled my OS when that abomination of a YouTube Shorts browser that YouTube has made itself known. I can't consume content by mindlessly flipping through shorts like that, and you can't even make them full screen.
- Phoenix
- This is the best thing I have ever added to my devices.
- Romi
- "Hide shorts" stopped working
- Fruity Printlabs
- It does not work. Uninstalled it immediately. I don't know if its changed recently, else I do not see why it should have a 4.6 rating where as it should have 1 or less.... I think the developer is sleeping with a full tummy and least bothered even to check these comments
- Serhii Nedilia
- Doesn't work
- Jonathan Booth
- you can do this yourself by just typing watch where it says shorts in the url does not block shorts misleading extension name
- ALVIN
- shorts make your attention span worse and worse day by day , so i added this extension to my chrome and i cant watch shorts now which is good for everyone
- Taylor
- I usually don't review anything, but this extension works exactly as intended for me. Thanks for making this!
- girl in red
