No Shorts Mode for YouTube™ — Thunderarea

Tired of wasting time on YouTube Shorts? Take control with No Shorts Mode.
No Shorts Mode for YouTube is a new extension that lets you hide and block, or redirect Shorts, so you can enjoy YouTube without distractions.

Choose between three simple modes:
- Block: Hide all Shorts and block them from playing.
- Redirect: Open Shorts in the regular video player, so you can’t endlessly scroll through them.
- Off: YouTube works normally.

Stay focused, save time, and enjoy YouTube your way.

Notes:
1. In Block mode, you can allow Shorts to play in the regular video player when opened directly, so Shorts shared by others still open normally.

From the developer of Music Mode for YouTube™ extension.
