en There are a whole load of extensions who claim to stop shorts from doing the infinite scroll thing. Many do nothing, some just block access to shorts entirely. This one does actually do exactly what it says it does and puts all shorts as regular videos so you can avoid "just 1 more short" burning hours.

en In my opinion, this is simply, irrefutably, the greatest extension on the entire Chrome web store. After I downloaded it, I instantly dropped Youtube Shorts as my shameful addiction. I started leaving the house again, finished my degree, met my now wife and had kids. I opened a business and now make 6 figures annually, and I have this extension to acknowledge for all of my success. I highly recommend this to anyone.

en something so simple yet important especially in today's discretely manipulative web design, not being handed a chain of dopamine hits after scrolling down a bit makes a huge difference for remaining focused on living life
