Finally, an extension both for Chrome and Firefox, that keeps your brain from turning into a soft‑boiled egg every afternoon. Here is it, YouTube Shorts Remover!
Small help with getting how the manifest.json works
I just got verified, so it’s time to ship! I’m pretty happy with the final effect, have happy free time on YouTube, without watching Shorts :)
I fixed a bug which caused to disable Shorts, even when all settings where set to not disable them. The cause of that was I wrongly handled the undefined value. I pushed everything to the repo and made a new release, named v1.1.0. Fun fact: the bug appeared only when you opened YouTube in new tab, when you refreshed the website, everything worked as should.

Everything is finished (or I think so), since the last devlog I added a custom checkboxes that look much much butter (and they have fancy animation!11!!!!1), also I changed the UI font so it looks more like the YouTube one.
From the “boilerplate side” I added README, GitHub reposiotry and MIT license. That’s all.
So the only thing that left to do is… ship, ship, ship, ship!
By the way, you can ask why I haven’t used any bundler like Vite. The answer is that this project is too simple for that, and it would be close to overengineering than.

I made some minor fixes to the logic, and finished a feature that allows you to completely block YouTube Shorts URL, here’s the showcase! See ya

Hello! This is my first Flavortown project and not only that, it’s my first browser extension that I’ve ever made. At the moment, I’ve implemented blocking the shorts itself on YouTube’s website. Now I’m working on this “awesome” (ekhem) UI. Maybe I will say something more about the project, I picked it because it’s kinda easy to create, so I can learn how the whole platform works and also I was looking to start it since the beggining of this year, but I haven’t had enough motivation to do so, but this is the perfect time.
