Help and support
Keep ShortsBlocker working for you.
If Shorts are slipping through, start with a reload. You can also report a missed placement, request a feature, or support ongoing maintenance.
The most useful report
Tell us which YouTube page you were on, what Shorts still appeared, and whether reloading the tab helped. A screenshot is useful, but optional.
