I block shorts, so they don’t run anywhere 🤣

How do you do that?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I use GrayJay/Revanced on Android and Enhancer for YouTube on Firefox (or any browser)

I think that is a setting in freetube. Also some browser extensions can do that.

There are also uBlock Origin custom filters/rules that block all shorts, at least for Firefox/Firefox mobile and its forks AFAIK.

I need to find a way to block them on Invidious. Shorts just bloat up my Subscriptions page.

Good to know, I'll search some out. Thanks!

Actually, does anyone with the knowhow know if the rules and filters made for uBlock work any differently in Chrome, Firefox or Safari? Arent they just html and javascript?

I'm a humanist, and the last time I played with html was in the 90's, so fuck if I know about anything thats happening beyond the ui.

‘Tweaks for YouTube’ extension on desktop. Modified YouTube client on iPhone and/or Android. For iPhone you can also use Vinegar, Baking Soda, Shorts Blocker, and SponsorBlock extensions for Safari.
