I'd like an extension which filters out all those Short-videos. No way to pause,...

I think these were on the uBlockOrigin subreddit, couldn't find the post

Here's the wiki page on uBlock origin's subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/wiki/solutions/youtube....

It also contains rules to block consent dialogs, suggested "mixes" and plenty of other annoyances.

A combination of Enhancer for YouTube and PocketTube allows you to do this, you can auto convert shorts to normal videos you can scroll through with the former, and with the latter, you can filter out shorts in your subscriptions.

>No way to pause

Tap the video. It's even easier to pause that full videos.

>no way to scroll

If you mean seek in BM the video. You can just drag the playhead like a normal video. If you mean scroll to another video you can swipe up.
