YouTube UnShortify automatically converts YouTube Shorts links into standard YouTube video links, giving you back control over your viewing experience.
If you are tired of the restrictive, mobile-optimized Shorts interface on your desktop browser, this lightweight add-on is for you. It works instantly in the background: whenever you click a Shorts link, it effortlessly changes the URL from youtube.com/shorts/... to youtube.com/watch?v=...

1. Timeline Scrubbing: Easily fast-forward, rewind, or skip to specific parts of the video.
2. Volume Control: Get the standard YouTube volume slider back.
3. Theater & Fullscreen Mode: Watch short-form content in standard viewing modes.
4. Better Layout: Read comments and view the description without the cramped Shorts overlay.
5. Lightweight & Fast: Does one thing and does it perfectly with zero impact on browser performance.
6. Privacy-Friendly: No data tracking or unnecessary permissions required.
How it works:
Simply install the extension, and you're done! There are no buttons to click or settings to configure. Every YouTube Short will automatically load in the classic player.
