I still use YouTube but never sign in, so basically I just search for what I wanna watch, Instead of subscribing I just have the channels I want in am RSS feed.
I dont really understand, is it possible to block JUST the shorts on Youtube? Any idea where i can find more about that?
I dont want to leave youtube just yet, but occasionally the shorts are melting my brain.
Okay, since I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, you can block shorts using ublock origin. You can block pretty much any component on any website.
I just block it with uBlock element picker (do the same for the sidebar and comments)
On android you can hide/remove with revanced.
Revanced not working so well lately…
Mine started acting weird on wifi today, so I updated it. Getting a sponsorblock error 502, but working otherwise.
2.2.2 came out 12 hours ago, updating now to check it all again.
Here is the YouTube version I’m using.
2.2.2 is bugging out when compiling for me.
So I’m SoL.
Maybe I’ll try CLI… If I get bored or Firefox stops working(w/ublock.)
Check out Morphe which is a fork of revanced and better maintained https://github.com/morpheapp
Smarttube will block shorts, works best on TVs and large screen devices.
YouTube revanced will as well, make sure you download the right one, lots of fakes out there.

Not sure if you can filter out shorts within browsers with something like ublock origin filters, may need to look into it.
Shorts are literally brainrot. Fuck tiktok, fuck shorts.

I might consider self hosting Invidious maybe.
“Enhancer for YouTube” add-on lets you block shorts on Firefox and Chrome.
On Android you can remove shorts with Brave
I know Brave is a big no no in these woods but they offer an option to select your own Content Filtering lists and one of those is Youtube Shorts.
Fantastic privacy feature.
Also they have Paywall Blocker, AI Suggsstion Blocker… Etc etc
