- (2025-07-03) Those 1 star reviews are haters, fake people probably bots. This worked on searches, Home page, recommended page (right side when you watch a video) and Shorts button is gone
- (2025-07-01) Nick Stein: It actually does what it says it does instead of looking for a way to turn them off I found this that removes them from your feed altogether which is perfect.
- (2025-07-01) Jordan: Great extension Love it.
- (2025-06-30) Sayak Banik: This is the only one currently working for search pages.(Probably because others have not been yet updated)
- (2025-06-29) Misophoniq: Took me quite some time to figure out that THIS extension was causing me shitloads of problems with Cloudflare captchas endlessly looping and preventing me from visiting sites.
- (2025-06-28) SomethingElemental: Works beautifully! I don't know what crack some of the complainers are smoking.

- (2025-05-26) Saleh Ahammad: Boom 🐦🔥🔥This is Absolute GAMECHANGER . Hats off to the developers
- (2025-05-25) LittlePotato: this will save me hours and brain cells.
- (2025-05-22) Kilian Liss: Any open source community enforces newly added software features to have a settings option for it to be disabled. Unfortunately google is completely incapable of following best practices, and relies on third party software for this.
- (2025-05-20) Sharid Miraz: A Big Salute...
- (2025-05-14) Aron Tecsi: Did exactly what it said it'd do, Since the option to remove shorts all together for a time seems to have gone away, im anticipating a lot more ppl installing this.
- (2025-05-13) Ozzy Gman: Thank you for your work!
- (2025-05-10) Elizabeth AE: Im really thankful for this.
- (2025-05-08) inner q: Thanks a lot!
- (2025-05-07) 11: THANK YOU SO MUCH
- (2025-05-06) lowpoly brain: Thank you, but.. It doesn't always work (I am still seeing shorts), and displays annoying popup to thank the author. No, thank you.
- (2025-05-04) Suryaansh Sharma: c’mon guys, it’s just a single popup. As the dev mentioned, clicking “Read More” disables it permanently. If you don’t want to support, just ignore it and move on. It’s not like it’s spamming or locking features. Also, I’ve seen the dev actually responding politely and even apologizing in the reviews — that’s rare these days. Let’s try to be a bit more chill and constructive. The extension still does what it promises.
- (2025-05-04) Steven and Kristy: Doesn't work. At least half the results of a search are a minute or shorter.
- (2025-05-03) Chris Westmoreland: Annoying pop ups begging you for money. There are other options that don't do that. Choose another extension.
- (2025-05-02) 3LeafClover: Great extension that works as intended, but they have recently added an annoying popup with a small close button that appears almost every time you open youtube for the first time that session (or in a private window), asking you to support them. I understand asking for monetary compensation, but if it becomes as annoying as it is to me then I stop sympathizing with you.
- (2025-05-01) William Filippo: Don't listen to the bad reviews on this one, all it is is a pop-up that says thank you and it goes away right after you click it
- (2025-05-01) danial hussain: Thank You for creating this extension! .I Seriously needed this to control my Youtube short addiction.
- (2025-04-29) Aaron Meighoo: It removed it. I was expecting it to be a little buggy, but it works! Now we need a version for iOS, but I understand the difficulty in implementing that.
- (2025-04-28) A How: This works exactly as it says on the tin. Very good. Don't know why people hate the popup so much; it's okay for a dev to ask for a bit of love. It's tiny and very polite. Well done dev!
- (2025-04-25) MinedMaker: Annoying popup attention nagging I'v had to click it away 3 times now. You deserve your 1 star, here you go.
- (2025-04-25) optimized patch: yo its highkey useful thanks, uhh ily idk
- (2025-04-24) Oliver Barry: Thankyou :)
- (2025-04-23) Siddartha G: annoying pop up. do not recommend. there are tons of other short blockers which works so uninstall .
- (2025-04-23) Alessandro Rosa: So the first thing this app do is popping out asking for support (aka money). No.
- (2025-04-23) Nezu-Shin: I installed annoying things remover plugin NOT TO SEE annoying things.
- (2025-04-23) Miguel Barbosa (EritoKaio): Adds popups begging for money. I'll just write my own CSS code and remove the shorts myself.
- (2025-04-23) Jeremy D: "We're struggling"? cmon. its a plugin to remove some html elements from a page. Dont show popups. Also maybe don't write a tirade against a reviewer. your whole response was WILDLY unprofessional.
- (2025-04-23) Sebastian Frederick: bruh are you serious?? popups?? in an extension MADE to block popups?? no way to turn it off forever?? just “remind me later”?? this is actual trash lmao. u want that much $$$ for this?? delusional. stop begging, it’s pathetic.
- (2025-04-23) dead getter: Absolutely unbearable. You seriously have the audacity to shove a popup in my face begging for money—in an extension literally designed to remove annoying garbage like that? The irony is mind-blowing. No "Don't show again" option, just a pathetic little "remind me later"? Wow, how generous. Do you honestly believe you deserve that much money for what's essentially a basic script slapped into an extension? Get real. If you want to ask for donations, fine—but do it without turning into the very kind of digital leech you’re claiming to protect us from. It's hypocritical, it's obnoxious, and it's a total self-own. Maybe try respecting your users instead of holding them hostage with guilt-ridden nagware.
- (2025-04-23) Sebastian Frederick: Super annoying and cringe to blast a popup begging for money when the whole point of the extension to remove annoying things. No option to permanently disable the begging popup, just "remind me later"? Do you really think you deserve THAT much money for making such a simple extension? Genuinely? If you want to ask for money fine but do some in an ethical and respectful way.
