Shortless YT Firefox

Shortless YT

By: theguy Add-on
Blocks YouTube Shorts by redirecting Shorts URLs and hiding Shorts-related UI

Features & Capabilities

YouTube Shorts Blocker removes Shorts from the regular YouTube experience.

Features:

  • Redirects youtube.com/shorts/... links to the standard watch page
  • Hides Shorts-related shelves, entries, and links on YouTube
  • Works on both www.youtube.com and m.youtube.com
  • Lightweight and local-only: no analytics, no tracking, no external services

This is a small project created for personal use because I did not fully trust other available extensions. It was developed with AI assistance.

This add-on does not collect, store, or transmit user data

Is Shortless YT 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.

Shortless YT requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
