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.
Your link talks about the element zapper, the icon that looks like a lightning. The instructions above talk about the element picker, the icon that looks like an eye dropper.

Just add this line to the "My Filters" section for the uBlock Origin extension.

My original mastadon post has screenshots with red guide marks in case this is confusing:
Fuck YouTube shorts. It's infuriating that YouTube doesn't provide us an option to remove all traces of that fuckin cancer from the platform.
My biggest issue is so many of the people I sub that have shorts, the shorts are their normal videos but only a small clip of it. I dont want that, Im already watching the videos!
I hate this format of content so much. An automatically reloading, never ending stream of snippets that are hardly informative even if they try. Fucking looks like they are trying to hypnotize us.
Oh wait, they absolutely are. Stop thinking about not being able to afford a living even though you bust your ass of everyday. Stop worrying about the climate. Get a new iphone and obediently watch citizen.
This is not a defense of TikTok style short form content. It's just that from time to time, I do enjoy the shorter style videos. Like when I have 5 minutes to kill, watch a few short videos and be on my way.
What I really don't like is that if you choose the app and the last thing you watched was a short, it opens right back up to to Shorts. Very annoying.
When I have 5 minutes to kill I open Wikipedia and read the article of the day.
Reading is better for your brain and attention span, and on top of that you learn something new.
I should do this more often. Thanks for the suggestion!
Trying to hop on that ADHD train.
I just hate how much functionality the Shorts player loses compared to the regular Youtube player. They seriously made their product worse to imitate a competitor? Who asked for this?
The shareholders.
You can hide segments like that with ublock, fwiw. It's been really useful to me for these kinds of changes every single website seems to be pushing these days.
