What is Youtube-shorts block?
'Youtube-shorts block' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance user experience by allowing Youtube shorts videos to be played in the regular video player instead of the less optimized Shorts player. It blocks Shorts-related feeds and even provides an 'Open in regular player' button in the Shorts player, making navigation easier. It supports multiple languages and comes with a customizable option to hide or unhide shorts videos. The extension aids in filtering out low functionality video feeds and introducing better video display aesthetics.

does not work on PC with Chrome I still see YouTube Shorts in my recommended videos on the right when watching a video. You can block YouTube shorts from the main recommendations page from the three dots, but it only last 30 days, was hoping this extension would fix this, but youtube also puts them in recommendation to the right of videos. This extension was maybe good a very long time ago, but it needs updating to counter the YouTube people who want you to watch endless short videos ... it's always about $$$$, they run more ads, make more money, remove the possibility to block a channel from the channel page. Don't waste your time with this extension, YouTube already made it obsolete.
