Review Summary

Users appreciate the Disable YouTube Shorts extension for its simplicity and effectiveness in hiding Shorts menus and reducing distractions, helping them remain productive. However, multiple users report that the extension fails to remove Shorts from the main YouTube homepage and explore page, limiting its effectiveness. Activation can be confusing, and some say it stops working or only hides the Shorts bar but not videos. Overall, it partially fulfills its purpose but has significant limitations according to many user reviews.

Pros

  • Effectively removes or hides YouTube Shorts in some areas, reducing distraction.
  • Simple and easy to use, with user-friendly activation.
  • Helps users be more productive and avoid mindlessly watching Shorts.
  • Many users appreciative of the extension's purpose and free availability.
  • Works well in hiding Shorts from menus and side navigation areas.

Cons

  • Does not remove Shorts from the main YouTube home page or explore page, which many users find disappointing.
  • Users must manually activate or press 'hide shorts' button after installing, which is not always effective or clear.
  • Some users report it no longer works or only hides Shorts bar but not Shorts videos themselves.
  • Does not block YouTube ads or other distractions, only Shorts related content.
  • Some confusion or lack of full functionality depending on YouTube's updates and extension maintenance.
