Delete YouTube Shorts From History in Chrome with OffiDocs
Delete YouTube Shorts From History Chrome web store extension
DESCRIPTION:
Run the Chrome online web store extension Delete YouTube Shorts From History using OffiDocs Chromium online.
Adds buttons into YouTube history page to clear/delete short rows
To use the extension first you have to go to the URL: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history
On this page the extension will add a button to rows of shorts that have been watched so that you can clear the items in the row all at once. It will simulate clicks from the user so may take a little while and you won't be able to use the page while it's doing it.
This may not clear all the items because sometimes the history page simply doesn't load them all, so you may need to use it a few times to get them cleared. If you can't see the button then try to scroll the page a little bit.
If you want to clear all the shorts you have watched in one go, there is now a button that will scroll for you and clear all of them. This is not very well tested because I need to wait for more shorts in history to test it better. It should get better over time.
I created this extension because I like to curate my YouTube history for better recommendations. It was quite difficult to clear the shorts manually and took a lot of clicks, so I automated it.
This extension has been updated a couple of times after YouTube changed the site structure. I expect this to happen relatively frequently since it's relying on a specific html structure, I will try to fix it as fast as possible but please don't leave me bad reviews in this case. If there is an issue then you can email me here: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
I have recently changed the logo because I got a intellectual property complaint for including the shorts icon.
