ty, i hate shorts too

Works unexepectedly well. Haven't seen any shorts on home page, search results, nor post-video recommendations since installing! It works rather quickly; they flash up for a split second when first loading the webpage, then immediately disappear fast enough to not notice they were there unless I'm thinking about it. The webpage formatting coalesces well to avoid gaps and visual glitches as well. Was happy that I could still access shorts manually through a specific creator's page without disabling the extension if I am going out of my way to seek specific content under their shorts/channel search function. Feels like whoever made the extension actually put in that small extra effort to make sure it only worked in sensible contexts without needing to think about it. Almost forgot I had it installed until I was looking through my extensions since I've never once felt like it gets in my way. 10/10, have prevented myself from so many hours of dopamine scrolling.
