Extension summary

This will hide the navigation button to Shorts, hide the video thumbnails for any Shorts, and redirect you to a page of your choice if you accidentally end up on a Shorts video.

Each of these can be individually disabled by clicking the No YouTube Shorts extension icon in the top-right of Google Chrome, and there is also a button to disable the extension for one hour.
