No, in fact I keep a very handy redirect in Redirector for this specific usecase:

         {
            "description": "Youtube shorts to something useful",
            "exampleUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iB9KMNzNIZI",
            "exampleResult": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB9KMNzNIZI",
            "error": null,
            "includePattern": "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/*",
            "excludePattern": "",
            "patternDesc": "",
            "redirectUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1",
            "patternType": "W",
            "processMatches": "noProcessing",
            "disabled": false,
            "grouped": false,
            "appliesTo": [
                "main_frame"
            ]
        },


Nice! I had not thought of creating a redirect, but I have now added this. I currently filter out all short content but on the rare occasion that I get linked a short this will come in handy. Thanks!


If you open the comments section you can click on the date of a comment and it will open it in the regular video UI.


Is Redirector an extension?


Yep, available for multiple browsers and quite powerful in my opinion: https://www.einaregilsson.com/redirector/
