This extension disables the shorts layout on desktop and instead allows for the default playback to be used. Works how youtube used to work.

KNOWN ISSUE Currently some videos are not redirecting to the correct video, and I have no idea why this might be case. Opening a link in the new page still seems to work unaffected. Will try to fix this issue soon, but it may take a few weeks since I am busy in other areas of my life.

Please ensure you refresh any YouTube tabs beforehand in order for this to work

NOTE: If you are using other extensions that modify the youtube experience, they may cause unexpected behaviour and interference with how this extension works. Please ensure you disable any features from other extensions that interfere with how shorts are displayed to get the intended experience.
