  I’ve been using an addon for that for awhile: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/hide-youtube-shorts/

    Revanced is the best thing to happen to YouTube!

    Been using it since YouTube Vanced became brokie and I’ve loved every change they’ve made, even with GitHub trying to stop them

      I was just updating recently, and the launcher really is a beast now, all in one, almost fully automated, right here on my phone

    Does it remove every trace of shorts like the browser addons do?

  It doesn’t actually turn off shorts, just prevents (limits) infinite scrolling.

  You’ll still be recommended shorts and if you accidentally click a short it will play.

  i just set up a redirect from /shorts/video-id to /watch?v=video-id. then you get the normal player.

    Same, I used Tampermonkey. It also inserts a floating switch to turn them off or on in results.

  I don’t watch shorts, but I’ve checked the setting anyway and the minimum that it allows for me is 15 minutes, not 0.

  I’ve had the Unhook extension for years, and YouTube’s decision not to make Shorts hideable was the catalyst. I still won’t uninstall it because it gets rid of a bunch of YouTube’s other trash, but this is at least moves the needle so it’s no longer unthinkable to get rid of it.

  Okay, you gotta admit that “feed limit” is a pretty good joke.
