Frequently Asked Questions

What is a uBlock filter list for YouTube Shorts?

A uBlock filter list is a set of custom rules used with the uBlock Origin browser extension to block or hide specific elements on web pages. When applied to YouTube Shorts, these filters target the Shorts shelf, sidebar links, and inline Shorts suggestions across YouTube, effectively removing all Shorts-related content from your browsing experience without affecting regular YouTube videos or other site functionality.

How do I add a custom filter list to uBlock Origin?

Open uBlock Origin's dashboard by clicking its icon and selecting the gear symbol. Navigate to the "Filter lists" tab, scroll to the bottom, and click "Import" to paste the filter list URL. Click "Apply changes" to activate the filters. The Shorts elements will be hidden immediately on YouTube. If you use Mewayz, our 207 modules include pre-configured browser optimization guides covering setups like this for just $19/mo.

Will blocking YouTube Shorts affect normal YouTube videos?

No, a well-maintained uBlock filter list specifically targets Shorts-related UI elements such as the Shorts shelf on the homepage, Shorts tabs on channel pages, and Shorts suggestions in search results. Regular long-form videos, playlists, subscriptions, and all other standard YouTube features remain completely unaffected. The filters only hide the cosmetic elements associated with the Shorts format.

Do uBlock filter lists for Shorts need regular updates?

Yes, YouTube frequently updates its interface and underlying code, which can break existing filter rules. It is important to use an actively maintained filter list from a reliable GitHub repository to stay current. Mewayz members get access to 207 continuously updated modules at $19/mo, including curated resources for tools like uBlock Origin, so you always have the latest working configurations at your fingertips.
