YT Shorts Blocker

Hide YouTube Shorts surfaces through a browser extension.

Our take

Useful for people reducing Shorts exposure in supported web browsing

Feed/search cleanup and navigation removal target several entry points.

Keep in mind: YouTube layout changes can break rules; the capture does not establish control of native YouTube apps or a guaranteed distraction-free environment.

What you can do

  • Hide Shorts from feed/search/channel areas
  • Remove Shorts navigation
  • Disable described infinite scrolling

Good for

  • People testing supported browser access

Consider alternatives for

  • System-wide app blocking or permanent compatibility guarantees

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • YouTube layout changes can break rules; the capture does not establish control of native YouTube apps or a guaranteed distraction-free environment.

Privacy & permissions

Publisher says processing is local without data collection; page permissions still allow the extension to inspect relevant browsing content. Grant access narrowly.
