Description
Adds a filter rule to block the Shorts tab on YouTube channel pages.
Changes
youtube.com##yt-tab-shape:has-text(Shorts)tobrave-lists/yt-shorts.txt(line 20)Motivation
Currently, the Shorts tab on YouTube channel pages (e.g.,
youtube.com/@username/shorts) is not blocked by the existing filter list. Users can still navigate to a channel's Shorts content via this tab.This is currently the case on both Desktop and Android. I haven't tested it on iOS but I am sure it will be the case there as well. Its pretty easy to replicate:
Implementation
The new rule follows the same pattern as other navigation blocking rules (lines 18-19) by using text-based matching with
:has-text(Shorts). This approach is more robust than positional selectors and will work regardless of tab order.Testing
