Shorts Remover for YouTube™ Subscriptions Extension

Even though YouTube Shorts can be entertaining, they tend to flood the subscription section. This can make discovering new interesting videos more than tedious.

Youtube Subscriptions Shorts Remover is a slim extension that removes YouTube Shorts from the subscription section of the website only. Other areas are not affected, so that Shorts can still be enjoyed as usual.

This is my first, modest Chrome extension. I would be very happy if you leave a review, or send me bug reports or constructive criticism.

A M (ID: 000000aa3af76ac4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/14/2023 Thank you! I wish I didn't have to have so many extensions just to make browsing and watching youtube a pleasant experience. Of course I should have foreseen that they would start shoving the shorts in your face more and more, make them bigger than they need to be, and have no option of removing them. Thank you for your service.
