Make external YouTube shorts regular videos

ExtensionFunctionality & UI1 user

Overview

Make external shorts regular videos: redirect from /shorts to /watch.

This extension enables redirects from YouTube `/shorts/<id>` links to `/watch?v=<id>` links for external YouTube shorts. Why? - You have shorts blocked via another extension (e.g. via ["Unhook"](https://unhook.app/)). - You still want to be able to watch shorts opened externally (links which someone has sent to you). This extension makes this easy. Source code: https://github.com/alurm/make-external-youtube-shorts-regular-videos
