Blocks shorts.
uBlock filters use a modified form of CSS selectors to determine what parts of a page to hide.
If you know vaguely how CSS selectors work you can infer that the filter definition is matching on
youtube.comand is finding an element whose title property isshorts- so it seems to be doing an appropriate thing.The important part is that uBlock filters are not executable; you can’t inject a malicious executable through one, as they are simply patterns which describe what parts of a page should be hidden, and hiding content is all they can do.
The worst that a filter could do is hide something that shouldn’t be hidden.
