Enjoy your favorite videos without the distractions!

To enable more advanced blocking, including visual blocking, I recommend downloading uBlock Origin with the following filters.

! Homepage - shorts button
youtube.com###chips > :has([title="Shorts"])
! Homepage - distractions
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-row, ytd-rich-grid-row > #contents:style(display: contents !important;)
youtube.com###contents.ytd-rich-grid-renderer > :not(ytd-rich-item-renderer, ytd-rich-grid-row, ytd-continuation-item-renderer)
! Sidebar - shorts button
youtube.com###sections #endpoint:is([title="Shorts"])
! Mini Sidebar - shorts button
youtube.com##.ytd-mini-guide-renderer[aria-label="Shorts"]
! Search - shorts
ytd-video-renderer:has([aria-label="Shorts"])
! Recommendation Sidebar - reel shelf
www.youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer

Copy the filters and paste them into the "My Filters" section in uBlock
