It's not too much effort to find µBlock Origin filter lists that hide them. The only time I see YouTube shorts is when I deliberately navigate to the shorts tab on a channel page.
- insane_dreamer 1y agoRight but the point is to be able to block the shorts on my teens phone while still allowing him to benefit from all the useful stuff on YT
- johnisgood 1y agoHe literally just told you the solution. Install uBlock Origin on your teens' phone and use the right filter list. Unless of course, they are smart enough.
- mritterhoff 1y agoIs it possible to install uBlock Origin on a mobile phone? I don't think it is. https://ublockorigin.com/ https://ublockorigin.com/
- johnisgood 1y agouBlock Origin can be used on Android phones through the Firefox browser, for example.
- mritterhoff 1y agoVery cool, didn't know firefox mobile supported extensions. Thanks!
- insane_dreamer 1y ago... to change the browser extension settings, disable the extension, or use another browser, not to mention that uBlock isn't available on iOS
- johnisgood 1y agoYup. But apparently it seems like it might work for him. I do not know. They are probably smart enough to disable the extension. There are many other, fool-proof ways though.
- johnisgood 1y agoIf anyone has the patience and knowledge, you may chime in. :) I remember I read a lot of these methods before here on HN. Some were pretty cool, and somewhat old-school yet effective.
