I would love an option in the settings to disable youtube shorts. I don't want them.

If you use uBlock Origin, you can hide any element on any site. If not you could also write an extension. I remember someone saying they wrote one and called it "Eat My Shorts" (lol). Perhaps you could search for that.

There's an unofficial filter list for uBlock Origin to hide shorts videos/links

It works very nicely without adding additional browser plugins.
