# Invidious - Shorts Detection & Removal

Simple userscript to detect and remove YouTube Shorts from your feed.

## How it Works

The script analyzes video thumbnails. Using the unique pattern of Shorts thumbnails, which is typically: portrait in the middle, portrait bigger and darker on the background. Through cropping, blurring, and compositing the script is able to know if the thumbnail has the structure of a short or no. If it's determined it was a short the script adds the video element to a class to hide it (You can change this behavior by altering the css), providing a cleaner browsing experience.

## Installation
