What's new in 3.6.5
Enhancements
- YouTube keeps adding Shorts placements across more parts of the site, so this update refreshes ShortsBlocker to keep coverage in good shape.
- Performance has been improved so ShortsBlocker should feel a little faster while checking and cleaning up YouTube pages.
- I plan to review and update the extension at least once a month. If you notice Shorts slipping through, please send a bug report so I can keep improving it.
Bug fixes
- Added smaller reliability fixes to keep ShortsBlocker lightweight and consistent.
