YouTube Shorts Blocker
Turn YouTube back into long-form learning
What it does
YouTube Shorts Blocker removes all Shorts content from YouTube so you can focus on intentional, long-form viewing. Unlike simple feed filters, it completely eliminates Shorts from the homepage, search results, channels, notifications, and sidebar—and even auto-redirects Shorts links to the standard video player. Lightweight, fast, privacy-first, and works instantly with a single toggle.

- YBYouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads2023 · ▲713
Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.

I am neurodivergent and noticed the Youtube Shorts format was hacking my brain to engage longer than I wanted. I wrote this quick extension to gain my time back. If you have suggestions for improvement, I'm all ears. Thank you :)
