I'm wondering which ad blocker you've had success with...specifically I'm wondering:

- Does this also block ads on Youtube (in the browser)?

- Can this block Youtube Shorts (they're way too addictive for me)?



I don't know about YT Shorts but Vinegar [0] blocks ads.

Control Panel for YouTube[^1] can block ads and Shorts in the browser

The best way to block YouTube Shorts is using a modified APK on Android. Plus, you don't get ads.

I'd almost use the "real" YouTube app with ads on, if I could disable Shorts entirely.


yes this blocks YouTube ads in the browser.
