FocusTube: A Chrome extension that hides YouTube Shorts

I wish there was something for the app. I haven't tried it recently but you could kind of stop the shorts being displayed for a brief period of time before it re-asserted itself. And I already pay for ad-free youtube wish it was at least a premium feature but obviously makes no sense from corporate point of view.

If you turn off history and disable the few toggles under privacy related to your usage, it disables recommendations (including shorts)

I’ve had to do this but miss recommendations now.

I don’t get shorts at all. They’re just such a bag of shite. Like at least reels and TikTok have decent content sometimes. YT shorts are always so crappy.
