About Open Shorts as Video

Some YouTube shorts have some parts we want to watch again. However, the web version has no way to seek the video. So, whenever you want to replay a section, you'll have to wait for it to loop or open the short as a video. This extension redirects the page and opens it as a video in a new tab with a click. But it does not pause the short as of now.
