YouTube-shorts block – Get this Extension for Firefox

Shorts is a weird anti-feature. I want to see the length of the video, be it 10 seconds or 45 seconds, not the word "shorts" where you'd expect a timestamp.

And also, why did we need a shitty interface for short videos? The regular interface was fine.

Yet another extension that could as easily be and indeed already is a userscript.

Without a link to the userscript, your comment is not helpful.

Not quite what you asked for, but this is the bookmarklet I use:

  javascript:(() => { let v = window.location.href.split("/"); window.location = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + v[v.length - 1]; })();

There's a million ways to get any one thing done... You could modify the browser's source code (possibly more efficient), edit your Youtube settings, use an addon with custom redirect rules, stop using youtube, etc...
