About YouTube Shorts Normal Player

This free add-on for Google Chrome loads all videos from YouTube Shorts in the normal YouTube player for a better user experience. The simple browser extension allows you to rewind videos and view the YouTube Shorts like they were normal YouTube videos. This Chrome extension also lets you block the AI dubbing on YouTube Shorts. It's very simple and there aren't any distracting features -- it just does one thing: lets you watch YouTube Shorts in the normal video player. This extension uses special techniques to make the redirects faster than most other similar extensions. Give it a try! To manually view a YouTube Short in the regular YouTube player, take the video ID and change the URL from a path like `/shorts/1234` to a path like `/watch?v=1234`. This extension does the URL redirect for you automatically so you don't have to think about it.
