What is Shorts to Normal player?
Shorts to Normal Player is a Chrome Extension designed to enhance your YouTube viewing experience. Rather than playing YouTube short videos in the mini video player, this extension redirects to play them in the normal YouTube video player. By changing the URL from '.com/shorts/●●' to '.com/watch?v=●●', it ensures you obtain a comprehensive viewing experience that only the standard YouTube player can offer.

That i want. i don't want shorts video youtube because loop unlimit. But if there is a feature to watch shorts youtube without loop, not click by click short video.

I've been wanting an extension like this for many months to get the regular player's video controls, especially playback speed (that is also persistent across videos in my tab). Many other extensions eliminate access to Shorts videos entirely, while this just changes the viewing environment into the standard one. Thank you for creating this extension!
