It doesn't fully remove YT Shorts, but it is helpful and I left it installed for a week or two because it does at least redirect you to the full-page YT video for the Short.
The reason for my uninstall, and lower rating, despite not actually fully removing Shorts, is:
This extension interferes with CTRL+click (or middle mouse button click etc) on any regular YT video from your feed or front page or anywhere on the site, and doesn't open a new tab. Not every single time but it's like 3-4 out of 5 tries for me, which got really frustrating after a while.

YouTube shorts are just YouTube's attempt to draw in TikTok users, and it's not a format I like. Thanks to this extension I'm able to view shorts like I would any other video.

Thank you, this is safer for my mental health !

Not Work on android

In search the shorts are all over.

YouTube's new 'short' format looks terrible on the desktop. Google feels like an old company joylessly copying 3rd-party ideas. If they actually had people who enjoyed the work, they might have produced something immersive.

Anyway... I have not had to deal with the new shorts format since installing this extension. Nice!

Today I found this extension.
It is a good day.

thank you so much for this addon. works awesome. i hate downloading addons but this one is necessary

Gets the job done, redirects to a normal video watch link on all shorts with minimal delay.

Bro you are the goat.

Exactly what I'm looking for. Enable 'allow video and audio' autoplay option in the address bar so the video will play on load.

Works as advertised for me (I also have other extensions on). My only wish would be for it to be open source, or have the source available
