Youtube Shorts Blocker –

Tired of endless short clips eating your time? YouTube Shorts Blocker is a lightweight tool that hides and disables Shorts in one click, so you finally get a calm, focused viewing experience.

It removes the Shorts shelf, the sidebar button and the vertical clips from your home feed, turning the site back into a normal video player. No more mindless scrolling and no more autoplaying reels pulling you away from what you came to watch.

⚡ What this shorts blocker does:
➤ hide Shorts on the home page, search results and subscriptions
➤ block the vertical feed in the sidebar and on channel pages
➤ remove the Shorts button from the left menu so it stops tempting you
➤ turn everything off with a single master switch
➤ open a Short as a normal video in the standard player, not the vertical feed

Why people choose this shorts blocker:
• It is a simple feed blocker — install it once and forget it is there.
• You can hide the clips and still watch normal videos, playlists and live streams.
• It works without changing any account settings.
• Privacy first — no sign-in and no tracking.
• It does one job and does it well.

💡 What makes it different:
Many tools only hide one part of the page. This extension is a complete feed blocker: it can remove the clips from your home page, from search, from the sidebar and from the shelf at the same time. The result is a layout that feels calm and productive, not one built to keep you scrolling.

📊 Great for digital wellbeing and productivity:
Short clips are designed to be addictive. When you disable them, you take back control of your attention. People use the extension to reduce screen time, stay focused during work hours and cut out distractions — a small change with a big effect on your day.

🎬 Everything you actually want stays untouched:
This shorts blocker only targets the short vertical clips. Your regular videos, playlists, subscriptions, watch history, comments and live streams all keep working exactly as before. You are not switching to a stripped-down site — you are removing the one feed that was built to trap your attention.

🧠 Build better viewing habits:
Removing the temptation is far easier than resisting it. With the vertical feed gone, opening YouTube no longer turns into half an hour of scrolling. Many people add this tool to a wider focus or digital detox routine, next to site timers and notification blockers.

⚙️ Simple and safe by design:
The extension asks for the bare minimum. It needs no special access beyond local storage for your on and off settings, it never talks to any server, and it keeps working after each YouTube update because it targets the layout structurally rather than by guesswork.

💡 Frequently asked questions:

📌 Does it really block Shorts everywhere?
Yes. The clips are hidden from the feed, search, sidebar and the shelf, so you get a clean site across every page.

📌 Can I turn the blocking off sometimes?
Absolutely. Use the popup switch when you need to focus, then re-enable the clips later in one tap.

📌 Will it remove the sidebar button too?
Yes. The extension can hide the button from the menu, so the temptation to open the vertical feed is gone.

📌 Is this a full Shorts remover?
It is built as a dedicated remover and feed blocker. Its only job is to keep your home page clean and simple.

📌 What happens when I open a Short?
With the redirect option on, the clip opens in the normal video player instead of the vertical feed, so you can still watch it without the endless scrolling.

📌 Will it slow things down?
No. This is a lightweight extension that runs locally in your browser and does not affect normal video playback.

🔒 Privacy first: the extension runs entirely in your browser. It does not collect personal data, does not require an account and does not track your activity.
