watching the same content on an alternative front-end, like Invidious. it can be slow at times or not load every now and then, but given that there’s hardly any emeregency situations that require someone to load a video RIGHT AWAY THIS MINUTE, I find that it’s a pretty good tradeoff for the lack of ads, shorts, and the ability to completely hide the comments.
You get the same and more with adblock and sponsorblock. Ok maybe I’ve not covered shorts but I imagine that’s not hard to fix with a browser plugin too.

Ublock can hide shorts and the trending sections with a few select filters
