- Beautiful addition, as whenever I step into YouTube, be it for some leisure long form content/educational content, shorts are the first thing that catches my eyes, and Im pulled into the endless scrolling loop. Appreciate the restrictions added by the extension.

- As a person with ADHD, I find the shorts videos exceptionally unhealthy. I must avoid them at all opportunity.

- Thank you so much William for this simple but effective extension! Even if I find a way to land on a YouTube short, it immediately pauses and kicks me back to the YouTube homepage which is perfect. This is so helpful for not getting stuck scrolling before I can tell what's happening.
