About URL Block & Redirect
Block/redirect user-defined URL patterns. Defaults include Reels, Shorts, and 9gag.
URL Block & Redirect
I could not find a simple way to block certain webpages. So i made this extension.
Redirect specific URL patterns (e.g., Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts) to another page. YouTube shorts, Instagram Reels and 9gag are preset to be redirected to google.
you can block all shorts by adding https://www.youtube.com/shorts/
but you can not block a specific short https://www.youtube.com/shorts/abcdefgh1234596
Be aware!
If there are any bugs, i will not be able to help fix them at the moment. This was meant to be a personal tool to help with my productivity, but i was very dissapointed that i could not find a similar chrome extension with out a tone of ads. So i decided to publish it.

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
