+Edouard Subscriber² Posted October 1, 2022 Subscriber² Share Posted October 1, 2022 We do a lot of our YT viewing on the desktop website and attempting to watch Shorts is a horrible experience. The video doesn't stop at the end, it just starts again which is a pain as YT keep recommending it unless we manage to stop it near the end. As a result we simply stopped watching Shorts months ago. The other day I stumbled across an extension called Youtube-shorts block and it forces Shorts to play as a traditional YT video. To date it has worked flawlessly and just wanted to pass on this information to anyone who hates watching Shorts on desktop as we did. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-shorts-block/jiaopdjbehhjgokpphdfgmapkobbnmjp hellowalkman, Skyfrog and Dick Montage 1 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1422009-youtube-shorts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigby Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) I don't like it at all. I hate vertical videos, not having controls, and the style of videos this attracts. I guess these are made for people with short attention spans who watch on their phones.

Nick H. Supervisor Posted April 22, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted April 22, 2023 I'm a bit (or very) late to the party, but the extension is also available for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-shorts-block/ I agree, the fact that shorts automatically loop is a real PITA. And I also don't know why, after all these years, people still insist on filming in portrait rather than landscape!
