User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise the extension for effectively removing YouTube Shorts and debloating YouTube, with many calling it fast and time-saving. However, a substantial number report performance problems, including lag on YouTube and overall browser slowdown, plus occasional loading failures or odd UX side effects. A minority feel it does not always do what it promises. Overall, its usefulness hinges on balancing the Shorts-removal benefit against potential performance impact.

Is Hide 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.

Hide Youtube-Shorts requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
