Description
Shorts Blocker is a Safari extension designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users who are looking for a YouTube browsing experience free from Shorts.
The extension gives you the ability to remove Shorts from various sections, including the home page, subscriptions page, channels, related videos, and search results.
Shorts Blocker goes further by letting you redirect Shorts to the default video player. Say goodbye to endless scrolling – you'll enjoy a more focused viewing experience. Or, you can disable infinite scrolling completely and take control of your time.
Please note: Shorts Blocker exclusively functions with the Safari browser on iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices and is not compatible with the YouTube app.

Ratings and Reviews
FINALLY
I’ve searched for something that can do this several times on different occasions. I always give up - I’ve never been able to manage. I’ve tried everything you can think of - extensions, various apps, some light scripting, even swapping to chrome. Read many articles and reddit threads. But this is it - this is what I’ve been looking for. Honestly thank you to whoever made it, you’ve helped stop my doom scrolling. Also, not for nothing, this is the first and only app review I’ve ever written, that’s how excited I am.
I hate shorts
Thank you for building this app. Seriously a life changer. So easy to get sucked in to watching those videos for hours (and they’re literally so dumb) but now I just watch a few videos..and even if I do get sucked in, I’m watching longer form content that is mostly much more useful information…like content I’m actually learning from.
(FIXED) Doesn't hide the shorts section on the homepage
(EDIT: developer fixed the issue, thank you!)
It hides the shorts button and the redirection feature works properly but it doesn't stop shorts from appearing on the homepage. I tried going to the support website but it says "website is archived". :(
