Does this work on the web version? I uninstalled the YouTube app but I keep watching shorts in Chrome anyway...

I had the same problem, but then discovered that chrome extension StayFree (used to be called StayFocused or something) released and app for android, that can block sites on android too. Now, I just added links to all the short video pages of all major social networks, and it does work!

It only works on the YouTube native app for the moment
