Firefox with ublock / Libretube / Libretube with Sponsorblock / Newpipe / Piped website if not on mobile.
EDIT: I currently use Firefox with uBlock on desktop and Libretube with Sponsorblock (integrated) on android.
Does any of those support YouTube shorts?
What a lame comment.
What does that have to do with the person's question though? They asked if it includes shorts and you just responded with an ice cold take.
I have an extension that hides shorts from my feed. the other day I used my account on the ps4/TV and oh my.... shorts everywhere.
I need a way to block specific channels too (or mute them) without unsubscribing as there's one in particular I want to remain subbed too (it's a community thing) but over his bullshit 6 videos a day spam
Yes / yes / yes / no / yes
Shorts are basically YouTube videos forced into a custom UI. There are still ways to force Shorts to load in the default UI.
It's the UI that makes it my heroin.
