YouTube Shorts Block is a free, open-source extension for Chrome that effectively removes YouTube Shorts from the user experience. Designed to streamline browsing, it eliminates visibility of Shorts from the Home, Results, and Trending pages, allowing users to focus on regular video content. The extension offers personal settings with different modes to cater to individual preferences, ensuring a customizable experience while using YouTube.

Users can choose from modes such as Full Block, which completely removes Shorts, or Soft Block, which retains the option to view Shorts in a dedicated section. Additionally, the View as Video mode allows Shorts to be displayed in a standard video format. This flexibility makes YouTube Shorts Block a practical tool for those looking to enhance their viewing experience by reducing distractions.
