📝 This add-on directly redirects you to /watch?v= instead of other similar add-ons going through /shorts/ first then /watch?v=.
🎯 Since so much informative content on YouTube is in the form of shorts, and most of extensions I use only work on videos, I made this add-on. Think of it as a way to curb mindless scrolling.

NOTE: • I know you can convert shorts into videos by saving them to Liked Videos, Watch Later, clicking the date next to the handle of a comment, adding to queue, or simply rewriting /shorts/ to /watch?v= in search bar, but it would mean extra steps. Too cumbersome! • Other add-ons either automatically converts shorts into videos in the current/new tab, which has a noticeable delay and going back to previous page can be a hassle, or outright don't work. • I highly recommend checking out addons.mozilla.org/addon/brainrotblock, another similar add-on. • If you don't like this add-on being disruptive because it refreshes the current tab, you can check out this userscript: https://greasyfork.org/scripts/538083
