YouTube Search Fixer de Phoenix

This extension is designed to help you fix YouTube search and make it less distracting. Also available on chrome and other web browsers.

FILTERING

2. Remove Shorts from search results.
3. Remove watched content from results.
4. Remove live videos and premieres from search results, with improved detection.

SEARCH & DISPLAY

16. Title Lowercasing, forcing video titles into lowercase for a cleaner feed free of ALL-CAPS clickbait.

18. Centered video title (optional).
19. Centered video description (optional).
20. Use an option to permanently redirect "shorts" back to the normal video page.

IS IT SAFE?
Absolutely. This is some barebones JavaScript to detect elements and some CSS to apply visual changes. There are no trackers phoning home or telemetry scripts working in the background in this extension. Not to mention no data is being sent or shared with any third party or the developer. It's completely open source so you can audit the code.
