YouTube is aggressively pushing it’s shorts which consists of low quality short videos and take up a lot of screen real estates when browsing YouTube.
On the desktop version, one can block YouTube shorts with the help of extensions and “block elements” in the right click menu.
But on the mobile version there is no possible way to do so.
Please add the option to block YouTube shorts in the shield options. This will improve YouTube experience for a lot of users.

Any update from the Brave team on supporting procedural filters?

Otherwise, it seems our best bet is to use uBlock Origin (UBO) and add a script to block YT Shorts.

U block origin only work on desktop platforms.
