I prefer "list" view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

uBlock Origin makes this easy:

Instructions Screenshot
1. Find a Shorts section on the page
2. Select the element picker in uBlock Origin
3. Select the Shorts section
4. Click "Create"
5. Enjoy

You can also use the "zap" feature. Just use the lightning bolt icon to the left of the eyedropper and it'll skip step 4. I also found this to work better because selecting shorts ended up always selecting the entire videos section as well.

This is just temporary, if you refresh the page it will show section again.

It was not temporary for me. I had to go into my settings and delete my changes to get it working again.

This is defined as temporary in uBlock documentation.

Reloading the web page will cause all removed elements to return.

Unfortunately zapping doesn't work after refreshing

I would recommend clicking Preview before Create. You know what will be removed before creating a rule is better.

There are pre-made filterlists that deal with annoyances like this (which tend to end up more reliable as tools that randomize/minify CSS classes get widely adopted), not just on YT but the wider web as a whole. I've written about how to set them up here: https://blahaj.zone/@ShittyKopper/pages/usable-web if you want to take a look at it

This is a great resource, thank you very much!

OMG thank you ☺️

Some more filters for blocking Shorts from YT can be found here.

Wow cool feature!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I did this years ago when it was added to home, not seen shorts since. Good guide.

Does this work consistenyl? I tried that with Pinterest's login popup and it doen't work (the element changes every time you enter the site). I ended up adding a filter to remove all Pinterest results from all my searches.
