YouTube Shorts Block

Chrome Web Store: Youtube-shorts block

Shorts feed swiping can hijack a quick YouTube break. YouTube Shorts Block reframes Shorts as regular videos with familiar controls instead of endless vertical scrolling.

Keep the content you choose while avoiding the hypnotic feed layout that eats spare minutes.

Version 1.5.5 (November 18, 2025). Trusted by 300,000+ users on the Chrome Web Store.
