  Okay, since I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, you can block shorts using unlock origin. You can block pretty much any component on any website.

    Just make sure, uNlock or uBlock origin?

  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 u lock origin filters, may need to look into it.

  Shorts are literally brainrot. Fuck tiktok, fuck shorts.

  “YouTube Enhanced” add-on lets you block them on Firefox and Chrome.

  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 might consider self hosting Invidious maybe.

    how do you do this?

    source
• fluxx@mander.xyz ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  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.

  On android you can hide/remove with revanced.

    Revanced not working so well lately…

      Check out Morphe which is a fork of revanced and better maintained github.com/morpheapp

        I’ll be honest morphe has been a total nightmare for me. It works 70% of the times. 30% of the times it rewinds mid video to a random timestamp. And will do that in a loop.

        In my experience that has been the very worse app I used on Android for YT.

        To be fair it’s not really their fault if YT is constantly trying to disrupt their app.

      idk what issues you have, I have it running on 5 devices

        Youtube does a lot of A/B testing. Last time I ran it, I could use it on one device/account but not on another.

        instead of fighting with it, I installed newpipe, pipepipe, grayjay and brave mobile. They all autoupdate. One of the 4 will always show youtube without ads. The first three don’t randomly show me anything I don’t ask for.

      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.

  Vanced lets you remove the tab and remove the full portrait default, think it pulls shorts from results too.

  A much better experience

  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.
