Here's my uBlock origin custom rules for blocking youtube shorts:
I am much happier not having this real estate back. Fuck yt shorts!
I have a redirector rule that redirects
youtube.com/shorts/whatever
withyoutube.com/watch?v=whatever
, so it uses the good player when I open a short.details here
Example URL: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/abcdefghijkInclude 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.
no those aren't actual links
Now that is good to know
