There is an extension for Firefox for blocking shorts. You lose the shorts button and any short you access through a link is converted into a regular, full size video.
Seconding ReVanced. RVX works like a charm. Not ready to leave the Google ecosystem just yet. But, when I do, I’ll switch to primarily using NewPipe.
I’m also keeping track of Haven as they may be an up and coming YT alternative for artists and creatives. They’re currently in seed funding so it’ll be interesting to see if they can get off the ground.
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.
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.
Vanced lets you remove the tab and remove the full portrait default, think it pulls shorts from results too.
A much better experience
“Enhancer for YouTube” add-on lets you block shorts on Firefox and Chrome.
On android you can hide/remove with revanced.
Revanced not working so well lately…
idk what issues you have, I have it running on 5 devices
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.
Check out Morphe which is a fork of revanced and better maintained https://github.com/morpheapp
I’ll take a look next time revanced belly ups.
