How It Works

The extension injects a content script into YouTube pages. It searches for known Shorts-related elements and removes them from the DOM. It also observes the page for dynamic content changes using a MutationObserver, ensuring Shorts don't reappear. If the user navigates to a Shorts URL, it redirects them to the homepage.

Hint: You can open the browser console by pressing F12 and check if you are already been de-shorted!

Shorts removed for your focus!
