YouTube Shorts Player Bypass

License: Unlicense

A Chrome extension that redirects YouTube Short URLs to the regular video player.

Purpose

I got annoyed with YouTube's Shorts player, and I didn't want to manually modify the video URLs to load the regular player anymore.

Method

The extension uses a naïve approach. It assumes that the short is accessed with a URL of the following format:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/<video-id>

It then replaces the URL with:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<video-id>

This does not work when the Shorts page is accessed from some of YouTube's UI elements, but a page refresh should work in that case.

Feedback and/or patches that improve on this approach are welcome.

Installing

The extension is currently not available on the Chrome Web Store, it has to be installed manually.

  1. Save the extension to your device.
  2. Follow the instructions under the section Load an unpacked extension here.
