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.
Hm? For which platform/s? I use it on Vivaldi since ages, and Firefox too. Vivaldi is Chromebased, so I know it supports that including Edge and Chrome. Are we talking mobile? Because then I’m not sure but at least FF should have it.

And if you’ve accepted the decline, I believe replacing “shorts” with “v” is enough.
I use an extension that auto opens any stupid short in full video version.
Would you kindly link this extension?
Not at my Computer right now but its called Youtube Shorts Block
I think YouTube Enhancer has that functionality as well.
Sadly it’s been removed from the add-ons repository

It’s been removed. If you already have it, it still works, but you can no longer get it.
Oh I see that because of how much Firefox changed internally it is no longer compatible.
Edit: Huh, just noticed I’m not even running it anymore. TIL
Here’s the link anyway, YMMV: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-shorts-normal-player/

You can also just replace “shorts” with “watch”.
Install “enhancer for youtube” (chrome web store) and in the settings for it check “convert shorts”
You’re welcome
