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
15 was minimum for me too (I’m in Denmark) a few days ago, but now it’s 0. They’re probably rolling out gradually, just check again in a few days and make sure the app is updated.
tl;dr:
App only. Account -> Settings ->Time Management -> Shorts feed limit

Even when set to 0 you’ll still see shorts, it just stops (or limits) the infinite scrolling.
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.
Europe here, 15min is minimum.
