Review Summary

Users find ShortsBlocker highly effective at removing YouTube Shorts across various sections, helping improve focus and reduce distractions. The extension is praised for its smooth performance and ease of use. However, multiple reviews mention the lack of a toggle/on-off feature, requiring users to uninstall or disable the extension when they want to watch Shorts temporarily. A minor issue with blank content on the News page was also mentioned once. Overall, its clear purpose and effectiveness make it a valuable tool for those wanting to avoid Shorts on YouTube.

Pros

  • Effectively removes YouTube Shorts from homepage, search results, and creator channels.
  • Helps users focus better and save valuable time by eliminating distracting Shorts.
  • Works smoothly without lag or performance issues.
  • Removes Shorts also from the subscriptions page, unlike some other extensions.
  • Simple, straightforward functionality that 'just works' as advertised.

Cons

  • Lacks a toggle (on/off) button, forcing users to disable or uninstall the extension when they want to view Shorts.
  • One report of the extension causing the YouTube News page to go blank, leading to uninstalling.
  • Some users find disabling the extension temporarily to view Shorts inconvenient and laborious.
