I mean it accomplishes what it sets out to accomplish. However I realized after a couple weeks that it was really harming performance. Over time, youtube pages become slower and slower. After 5 minutes it becomes noticeable, and after something like 20 it becomes unbearable. Although it seems you can reset this by simply reloading the tab.

At first I thought it was just my macbook being old, but after some troubleshooting I found it was definitely this add-on. Really hoping for an optimization update, because it was actually quite nice not seeing shorts anymore.

Only works on homepage and sub page for me.. the shorts are heavy on a page with a video playing

I don't know what Youtube changed on the platform, but it seems that Shorts are now considered common videos and are not removed anymore. To make matters worse when clicking on channels, you can send them to others with a similar name.

Working fine but the required permission are a concern. Not sure why this extension needs access to all website data when it only works on youtube. Care to explain?
