How to hide YouTube Shorts on Microsoft Edge
Edge has no setting for it, and YouTube’s website only offers to show you fewer Shorts. To turn them off in Edge, add FeedCut from Edge Add-ons. Shorts are hidden from the moment it’s installed: the shelf on Home, the Shorts tab, and Shorts in search, Subscriptions and on channel pages. Links to Shorts open in the normal player.
Coming soon to Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera · Free · No account
Hide Shorts is on by default in a real install. Flip it in the panel to see the shelf come and go.

Short answer
Install FeedCut from Edge Add-ons and reload YouTube. Hide Shorts is already on. Allow it in InPrivate if you use private windows, and install it in every Edge profile you use.
Turn Shorts off in Edge
Add FeedCut from Edge Add-ons
Click Get, then Add extension. If you’d rather use the Chrome Web Store, Edge asks once to allow extensions from other stores.
Reload YouTube
The Shorts shelf and the Shorts tab are gone.
Show FeedCut in the toolbar
From the Extensions menu. The Hide Shorts switch lives in its panel if you ever want them back.
What disappears
| Place | With Hide Shorts on |
|---|---|
| Shorts shelf on Home | Gone |
| Shorts tab in the sidebar | Gone |
| Shorts in search and Subscriptions | Gone |
| Shorts tab on channel pages | Gone |
| A /shorts link someone sends you | Opens as a normal video, without the swipe |
Edge details that trip people up
- InPrivate. Extensions are off in InPrivate windows until you allow them:
edge://extensions→ Details under FeedCut → Allow in InPrivate. - Work and personal profiles. Each Edge profile has its own extensions. Shorts will still be there in a profile without FeedCut.
- Chrome Web Store installs. If you ever switch off “Allow extensions from other stores”, Edge removes extensions that came from there. Installing from Edge Add-ons avoids that.
While you’re at it
The same panel has switches for the Home feed, Up next and comments, and a Block channel button on every video. Hiding Shorts but leaving the Home feed on can just move the scrolling one row down; turning both off makes YouTube open to a search box. See hiding recommendations for what each switch removes.
Questions
Is there an Edge setting for YouTube Shorts?
No. Edge has no YouTube settings, and YouTube’s website only offers “Show fewer Shorts”. The Shorts feed limit exists in the YouTube app, not in the browser.
Can I keep Shorts from a few channels?
Not with the switch, which removes all Shorts. If only some bother you, leave Hide Shorts off and block those channels instead.
Does it work in Edge on Xbox or on my phone?
No. FeedCut runs in Edge on Windows, Mac and Linux. On a phone, see what the YouTube app allows.
