Review Summary
Users generally find Shorts Blocker effective at removing Shorts videos and appreciate its active maintenance and simplicity. However, multiple reviews mention that the Shorts button in the sidebar remains visible and that Shorts sometimes still appear in search results or subscriptions. Some users noted brief flashes of Shorts links during page loading. Overall, it is valued for improving productivity by limiting Shorts exposure despite some incomplete blocking features.
