Thank you so much. I always hated shorts, because, I disable them for 30 days (clicking on the X) when they appear in the home page. But they still appear when im seeing a video, and sometimes I got distracted with them, when I see something interesting, and then I see 20 shorts without even notice that. Now this plugin removes that and I can see youtube without problem :). Thanks!

One of the better ones that I've seen of this. Actually prevents you from clicking on a short when full block is enabled and gets rid of the shorts sections. Only issue is that when full block is enable, if there are any rows displaying shorts that would otherwise be visible, the three dot button on any video below that would-be row of shorts is gone. I'm guessing this is a bug. Easy fix now tho is to is to disable the extension then click the X on the row of shorts, which will disable it for 30 days. Then it works normal
