It block hatred shorts for 1 minute, and then I realized it turn on Inline playback in YT settings, which I hate even more than shorts cause it removing add to queue and watch later buttons from miniatures in subscriptions section. New feature from YT, yeaaahh:( You must fix your add-on. I use polish YouTube. I wrote about this option:"https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/13xugds/watch_later_and_add_to_queue_button_missing_from/" And you are right your add-on doesn't change it, it's YouTUbe new "feature" which doesn't remember what user set in options. It constantly switch on after 1 or 2 refresh site. But still your add-on not working at all, maybe because recent changes on YouTube which disabled short blocker in another add-on I use.

Is Block YouTube Shorts Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Block YouTube Shorts requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
