YouTube shorts are just YouTube's attempt to draw in TikTok users, and it's not a format I like. Thanks to this extension I'm able to view shorts like I would any other video.

Thank you, this is safer for my mental health !

YouTube's new 'short' format looks terrible on the desktop. Google feels like an old company joylessly copying 3rd-party ideas. If they actually had people who enjoyed the work, they might have produced something immersive.

Anyway... I have not had to deal with the new shorts format since installing this extension. Nice!

Today I found this extension.
It is a good day.

thank you so much for this addon. works awesome. i hate downloading addons but this one is necessary

Gets the job done, redirects to a normal video watch link on all shorts with minimal delay.

Bro you are the goat.

Exactly what I'm looking for. Enable 'allow video and audio' autoplay option in the address bar so the video will play on load.
