YouTube Shorts → Standard Player

This browser extension automatically opens YouTube Shorts using the normal video player.

Note that this extension is unmaintained and likely to break with changes to the YouTube website. The logic is simple enough that any developer should be able to restore functionality should YouTube implement breaking changes.

What it fixes

Normal seeking & keyboard controls
Works on desktop and mobile

Note: On Firefox-based browsers, you may briefly see the Shorts interface before being redirected. This is due to browser limitations and cannot be fully eliminated.
