YT Shorts Blocker is a Firefox addon designed to help users avoid distractions from short videos on YouTube while working or studying. This subscription-based tool offers features such as hiding videos based on length, blocking all shorts content, and removing the shorts button from the interface. Users can also redirect any shorts URL to the standard watch URL for longer content, ensuring a more focused viewing experience. Its settings are fully configurable within the addon menu, allowing for personalized adjustments.

This addon is compatible with both mobile and desktop versions of YouTube, making it versatile for different users. Importantly, YT Shorts Blocker does not collect any user data and is only active on YouTube's official sites, which enhances privacy while using the tool. While it does not prevent users from watching short videos, it effectively minimizes their visibility in recommendations, helping users concentrate on longer-form content.
