This extension turns vertical YouTube Shorts videos into regular videos

YouTube has not been left out of the huge popularity of TikTok-style short vertical videos and has been developing its Shorts platform for a long time, but it does it in its own way. Videos from this service are offered not only in the smartphone application, but also on the YouTube website (it even has a separate tab for Shorts). However, such vertical videos are very limited in their properties, users can only like / dislike, write a comment or share them – the free Youtube-shorts block extension opens Shorts videos in a standard video hosting player, thereby allowing you to use all its features.

This is a Shorts video in the original, but the extension displays it in the standard YouTube player

With this extension, users can choose the quality of the video, adjust its playback speed, change the player format, adjust the volume and open the video in full screen mode. Youtube-shorts block also allows you to disable the Shorts tab from the site and even hide all videos of this format from the feed and search, however, these functions may not work correctly.

The extension is available for free for Chrome and Firefox, its source code is available on GitHub.
