What our analysis found
Youtube-shorts block, used by 300,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in November 2025.
The extension's source code aligns exactly with its purpose of modifying YouTube to redirect shorts, hide tabs, and hide shorts videos. It uses only local storage, makes no network requests, and limits content script injection to domains. The ML-flagged patterns (innerHTML, image files) are standard UI manipulation and assets. Publisher reputation is good, the extension is featured, and user reviews are positive. No malicious or suspicious behavior found.
