Does any of those support YouTube shorts?
I have an extension that hides shorts from my feed. the other day I used my account on the ps4/TV and oh my.... shorts everywhere.
I need a way to block specific channels too (or mute them) without unsubscribing as there's one in particular I want to remain subbed too (it's a community thing) but over his bullshit 6 videos a day spam
What a lame comment.
What does that have to do with the person's question though? They asked if it includes shorts and you just responded with an ice cold take.
Firefox with ublock without any problems, and on my smart tv with smarttubenext I see them as well.
Newpipe on android doesn't seem to show them, but I haven't really looked for it either, maybe I'm just missing a setting somewhere.
Yes / yes / yes / no / yes
Shorts are basically YouTube videos forced into a custom UI. There are still ways to force Shorts to load in the default UI.
It's the UI that makes it my heroin.
