uBlock Origin can also get rid of Shorts in Youtube, as well as the hover-play functionaliy, and annotations on videos.

Just paste this into your uBlock Origin settings/myFilters:

Does that kill just shorts or everything you mentioned in your comment?

Everything in the comment. They're all pretty well described if you wanted to pick-and-choose.

There is also the Unhook extension if you want to fine tune what components are visible on YouTube.
