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.


Right 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


He 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.


Is it possible to install uBlock Origin on a mobile phone? I don't think it is. https://ublockorigin.com/


uBlock Origin can be used on Android phones through the Firefox browser, for example.


Very cool, didn't know firefox mobile supported extensions. Thanks!


... to change the browser extension settings, disable the extension, or use another browser, not to mention that uBlock isn't available on iOS


Yup. 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.


If 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.
