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:

They’re not just frustrating—they’re a lazy response to GDPR.
They’re not lazy, they’re maliciously compliant. The sites know how to comply with GDPR, but wanted to throw a fit instead. So they came up with the annoying cookie banners, to make users hate GDPR instead of hating the sites that were stealing and selling all of their data. And the worst part is that it worked. Many people wholly equate GDPR with the cookie banners, instead of the massive leap in privacy rights that it represented when it was passed.
They’re not lazy, they’re maliciously compliant.
Often times they’re not even compliant.
I’ve used uBlock Origin for years, but the dev doesn’t accept donations because he doesn’t want an obligation to support the software ongoing. This means I cannot support him even though it would come with no expectations, just thanks.
So thank you for your hard work Raymond Hill/gorhill You’re amazing, doing your part to make the world a better place.
Makes such a useful piece of software, and is also wise enough to set boundaries to protect himself from the toxic pressure of open source development.
What a G.
I did not know that I already had the tool in my hands.
uBlock Origin is the best ad blocker imaginable.
But it can do something I always wanted: Get rid of cookie popups (but without acception them automatically).
Visiting a new website and being able to read the content directly feels so weird, although it should be normal.
I hope, EU legislation will force websites to accept a global “Auto-decline”/“Minimum-possible” configurable in the web browser, in which case no banner can be shown. IMO, that’s how it should have always been.

The banner is a stupid solution. Tracking and ad profiles should be completely banned instead.
