### 2/5 — Only blocked shorts

*2026-01-15*

This app only blocked YT shorts, not recommended videos or ads. It's still worth the dollar if you only want shorts blocked. I'm a little disappointed.

**Developer response:** Hi,

I’m glad blocking YouTube shorts worked out for you.

As well as shorts our Safari extension blocks recommended videos as in the segments where it says “You may like” or “News” or “Explore more topics”, it also blocks the ad that would usually display at the top of the video feed underneath a video, we unfortunately cannot block the ad that plays at the start of the video in this current version.

Hope this clears any confusion.

### 4/5 — Super

*2026-02-09*

Fonctionne pour cacher les shorts donc c’est tous ce que l’on demande.
Par contre il faudrait mieux guider quand à la mise en place de l’extension car j’ai eu du mal à le faire. Sinon super
( si vous avez du mal à la mise en place demandez à une ia de vous aidez)

**Developer response:** Hi,

Sorry you had trouble when setting the extension up! Glad you got it working in the end though!

Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2026-03-04*

Works as expected and easy to configure!

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says

*2026-01-15*

It removes YouTube shorts, it also has extra features like hiding the recommendations and hide ads, and finally an option to bring back the amount of dislikes. 

Definitely worth the 99p. 👍

**Developer response:** Glad you find the app useful.

Thanks for the review!
