I've been able to nix so many intrusive web elements with the ublock picker tool, often without leaving a trace due to modern web design practices. The YouTube shorts shelf is one such case, and it's shocking how well it worked!

Yeah, uBlock mostly just adds CSS rules as display:none, and Google still pretends that's some kind of security nightmare.

Because they're an abusive monopoly that must be shattered.
