Let&#8217;s discuss some extensions that can help you disable Shorts.<\/p>\n<p>1) Unhook: The extension is available for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>2) ShortBlocker: Free version removes Shorts tab from homepage.

If you are avoiding Shorts and still consume long-format videos, you can use YouTube Kids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extensions\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can use an extension to block or hide the Shorts tab. The extensions are best if you want to avoid them temporarily. Once you are finished with your tasks or wish to access Shorts, you can disable the extensions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep Watch History Off<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By keeping the history off, you will not see any recommendations. Only blank white screen will appear. So, unless you have a video in mind, you will not wander aimlessly on Shorts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use mobile on desktop version<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Try opening YouTube in mobile browser. And choose the desktop site option to view YouTube as you would on a desktop on your mobile device. In this way, you will see more long-format videos, and the short UI will be unappealing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_for_Disabling_YouTube_Shorts\"><\/span>Reasons for Disabling YouTube Shorts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For many users, Shorts were a quick way to consume content, entertain them for a bit.
