I really have been wanting to get rid of the obtrusive and offensive horizontal list of shorts that come up every time I open youtube. This extension is supposed to help with that, but unfortunately I cannot tell whether it does anything at all, as the shorts are still there. I did check it at the filter settings of the extension and also clicked F5 to reset youtube. I would like to know how to get it to work.

Install addon
Setup hide shorts
Find selected tag, and look for video
You see shorts
Disable shorts (again)
you still see them
reload
you still see them
uninstall addon

search still does not give me results relevant to what i searched for

Yeah this extension doesn't actually work? It hides the category titles but the random unrelated and 'previously viewed' videos are still there just mixed in with the rest of the videos.

I downloaded this extension to fix search, but it also makes all of these annoying, unnecessary UI changes that cannot be turned off. I am giving this extension a 1 star because other reviews have complained about this for at least a year and the problem still persists.

for some reason whenever i have this add on enabled it tanks youtube's loading. it gets REALLY slow. not worth the search fixing.
