tl;dr:

App only. Account -> Settings ->Time Management -> Shorts feed limit

Browser: I use a couple plugins to purge sharts from existence. One of them that also does a LOT of customization and usability fixes: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube

    It’s a dark-pattern control just to say they are doing something about it.

    It only limits the number of minutes you can death-scroll Shorts. You’re still drinking from the Shorts firehose for up to 15 min, minimum.

    You can’t turn shorts off.

    Edit: this may be only in the U.S.
