Here's my uBlock origin custom rules for blocking youtube shorts:

! Block Youtube Shorts on front page
youtube.com##ytd-rich-section-renderer > .ytd-rich-section-renderer > .ytd-rich-section-renderer[is-shorts=""]
youtube.com##yt-formatted-string:has-text(/#shorts/):upward(ytd-rich-item-renderer.ytd-rich-grid-row)
 
! Block Youtube Shorts on the subscriptions page
youtube.com##ytd-thumbnail-overlay-time-status-renderer[overlay-style=SHORTS]:upward(ytd-grid-video-renderer.ytd-grid-renderer)
 
! Remove Shorts on sidebar menu
youtube.com##a.yt-simple-endpoint.ytd-guide-entry-renderer[title=Shorts]:upward(ytd-guide-entry-renderer.ytd-guide-section-renderer)
 
! Block Youtube Shorts on the search results page
youtube.com##ytd-thumbnail-overlay-time-status-renderer[overlay-style=SHORTS]:upward(ytd-video-renderer.ytd-item-section-renderer)
youtube.com##span.ytd-reel-shelf-renderer:has-text(/Shorts/):upward(ytd-reel-shelf-renderer.ytd-item-section-renderer)

I am much happier not having this real estate back. Fuck yt shorts!

I have a redirector rule that redirects youtube.com/shorts/whatever with youtube.com/watch?v=whatever, so it uses the good player when I open a short.

details hereExample URL: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/abcdefghijk
Include pattern: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/*
Redirect to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1
Pattern type: Wildcard

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

www.piped.video/shorts/abcdefghijk

www.piped.video/shorts/

www.piped.video/watch?v=$1

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
