About this extension

Shorts Block is an easy-to-use browser extension that interacts with the DOM to disable YouTube Shorts, which can overwhelm the user experience.
You will still be able to watch shorts, but unlike in the actual polluted YouTube, you need to reach the shorts tab and show interest in seeing them.

Implemented Features:

- Remove YouTube Shorts visibility from Home, Results and Trending.

- Automatically convert Shorts videos into a regular format.

- Remove Youtube Shorts section, while watching video.

-Full Block Youtube Shorts.

-Personal Settings. Different modes for the extension.

Modes:

-Full Block: Shorts get fully blocked/removed.

-Soft Block: The extension will only remove the Youtube Shorts from the Home/Trending/Results Page, but you can watch shorts if you want on their section.

-View as Video: You can watch youtube shorts, in normal video format.(This mode is not compatible with Full Block).

Release notes for 1.1.1

The extension has been updated to work with YouTube's latest design. It now does a better job of finding and hiding Shorts videos, whether they appear in a row on your homepage or as single videos in your search results. This should make your YouTube experience much cleaner.
Now it will also work by default when installing, with no need to toggle it on.
