- shortn 1y agoDon't their shorts go under https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ Maybe you can just block all URLs that falls under /shorts/
- deviation 1y agoNot router level, but "Enhancer for YouTube" has "Hide shorts" in its appearance preferences. Available on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. If I was a concerned parent, I'd just install and hide the extension from the bookmarks bar. The downside being that it doesn't affect native YouTube apps for mobile devices...
- deviation 1y agoIf you have a raspberry pi or some device laying around that you're happy to act as an always-on-server you could set it up as a Layer 7 firewall using something like Nginx to act as a reverse proxy for SSL/TLS interception. Throw this into some LLM on research mode and I'm sure you could get some step-by-step instructions for setting it up. I suppose it's not much different to a PiHole but instead of filtering out ads you're filtering out shorts.
