I am BEGGING someone, anyone at Google/YouTube to let me permanently disable YouTube Shorts.

I HATE Short form video content and no matter how many times I select "show me less of this" I still get them front and center when I open the app or website.

Have you looked at the "YouTube-shorts block" add-on?

Not the OP, but I have given up on trusting low-audience browser extensions. Too many stories of the author selling out and injecting analytics/malware into the product.

300k users is low-audience to you?

Unless it is a top-10 app, it is a no go. The top applications have millions of users.

A browser is my everything app. It is the most security essential tool I use daily, which requires vigilance in how I extend it. More users is a crappy proxy for how likely a developer can sneak through an insidious change.

I understand being cautious, but this extension is featured in the chrome store and has quite a few users and only requests access to youtube sites.

Not exactly fly-by-night...
