[Request] Option to Hide / Remove "Shorts" Tab now suddenly appearing like just the "Explore" one

[Maxwell12347842]

can we please get a option to disable the "Shorts" Tab on the navigation tab menu like we have for the "Explore" Tab in Youtube? It feels so annoying to suddenly be forced by youtube to have this new tab at the same place yesterday my subscription list was. i always clicked on the same position on my monitor to get to my subscriptions, and now they have places the new tab there to get us to click on it.. its so sickening.

i would love to have a option to remove this tab please.

You can add these two filters to uBlock Origin to hide both the expanded and minimized buttons in question:

www.youtube.com##ytd-guide-entry-renderer:has(yt-formatted-string:has-text(/Shorts/))
www.youtube.com##ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer:has(span:has-text(/Shorts/))

To hide "Explore" as well, add:

www.youtube.com##ytd-guide-entry-renderer:has(yt-formatted-string:has-text(/Explore/))
www.youtube.com##ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer:has(span:has-text(/Explore/))

They just recently added this as an option, but I would honestly prefer a way to keep the shorts, and instead link you to the actual video page instead of bringing you to the stupid shorts section.

YouTube has just started pushing videos with no watch time in with other videos, just a Shorts icon in its place. Use this uBlock filter to hide all those videos:
