I watch a lot of YouTube, and I also recommend the extension UnTrap for YouTube (Firefox [1], Chrome [2], more [3]).

Besides hiding Shorts, it offers many options that give you more control over the YouTube interface. Specially clean up the search results page from unrelated suggestions, mixes, and more stuff, the current deafult search is horrible.

Here are some screenshots I took for you: https://imgur.com/a/UawBCG5

I'm also an UnTrap happy user.

It's an awesome anti doom-scrolling antidote for Youtube, with a lot of customization possible.

I would definitely recommend it.

At least try it to see how much Youtube's design & recommendations actually trick our brain into passive watching and dooming scrolling.
