How to Disable YouTube Shorts Completely on Desktop

YouTube's algorithm aggressively prioritizes short-form, algorithmic video over long-form educational content. To disable YouTube Shorts completely on desktop, native settings are insufficient. You must use the YouTube Enhancer extension. This tool injects a custom stylesheet into YouTube's DOM, explicitly targeting the container tags that hold the Shorts carousel. By mathematically un-rendering these elements, the extension permanently eradicates the addictive short-form feed, forcing the platform to behave like an traditional long-form video library.
