## Description

Shortless YouTube cleans up the YouTube experience by removing all Shorts content. It hides Shorts shelves on the homepage, removes the Shorts tab from navigation, filters out Shorts from search results and channel pages, and automatically redirects any Shorts URL to the standard video player. Works silently in the background with no configuration needed — just install and browse YouTube without Shorts.
