Security & Privacy

This is the entire extension – 35 lines of actual code:

function hide() {
document
.querySelectorAll(
ytd-guide-entry-renderer a[title="Shorts"],
ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer a[title="Shorts"],
ytm-pivot-bar-item-renderer a[href="/shorts"],
ytm-pivot-bar-item-renderer:has(.pivot-shorts),
ytd-reel-shelf-renderer,
ytd-rich-shelf-renderer:has([href*="/shorts/"]),
ytm-reel-shelf-renderer,
ytm-rich-section-renderer:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
grid-shelf-view-model:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
ytd-rich-grid-group:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
[href^="/shorts/"],
ytd-reel-item-renderer,
ytm-reel-item-renderer,
ytm-shorts-lockup-view-model,
ytd-rich-item-renderer:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
ytd-video-renderer:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
ytd-grid-video-renderer:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
ytd-compact-video-renderer:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
ytm-rich-item-renderer:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
ytm-video-with-context-renderer:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
ytm-grid-video-renderer:has([href^="/shorts/"]),
ytd-notification-renderer:has([href^="/shorts/"])
)
.forEach((el) => (el.style.display = 'none'));
}

hide();
new MutationObserver(hide).observe(document.body || document.documentElement, {
childList: true,
subtree: true,
});

That's it. No tracking. No data collection. No external servers.
