    Pro tip: if you replace “shorts/” with a “watch?v=” in the URL of a YouTube shorts video, you can watch it like a normal video.

    Another pro tip: if you replace the entire URL to “https://www.who.int/health-topics/mental-health”, you can learn about mental health, which is an essential piece of knowledge in the case you watch YouTube shorts.

    Well, I got annoyed about that, and found a browser addon that changes the url from shorts to videos.

        “Shorts to normal player” is the one on chromium (I used to use it in sandbox exclusively for YouTube). On Mozilla, the “YouTube Shorts Normal Player” seems to do the same trick it seems.
