Finally! Now kill Shorts. They take up a bunch of space on desktop, yet the player is super annoying to use. As far as I can tell, you can't scrub videos. They do a poor job of hijacking scrolling and clicking. Very unintuitive UI.
I have a userscript that redirects shorts to watch?v=XXXXXX, the short video id is playable using the regular YT video player. Eliminates all the annoying UI features of shorts.
