If you’re not a fan of YouTube Shorts cluttering your feed, here’s a quick fix using the free uBlock Origin browser extension.
Just add this filter rule:
www.youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer
This hides the Shorts shelf from the homepage and subscriptions tab.
How to add it:
- Click the uBlock Origin icon
- Go to Dashboard > My filters
- Paste the line above and hit Apply changes
Done. Clean feed, no Shorts.

One of the things Iโve built is Masterlist: Focus & Tasks, a privacy-focused, local-storage-only task manager that offers focus tracking tied to tasks and projects, compatible with the Pomodoro technique.
