add an option to remove shorts,
and videos with a similar length from various lists,
(search results, feed, related videos, existing playlists,...)

level 999: add a filter by actual number of seconds.

Why do you want this feature?

I have strong feelings regarding "shorts",
and I'm missing the fine-tune level of control over content
I can have using a desktop browser and uBlockOrigin hiding rules.

Additional information

shorts are normal videos launched from the pathname youtube.com/shorts/video_id,
the UI in youtube has been changing pretty often.
currently their "length" attribute in the desktop (polymer) theme is not populated into the DOM,
but crawling the url youtube.com/watch?v=video_id or the API can help with an accurate length, although the length missing is a strong indication that we're dealing with "shorts" so that by itself is a pretty easy way to filter them out.
