YouTube Short Redirect Firefox

YouTube Short Redirect

Redirect all YouTube shorts to the normal video format.

Features & Capabilities

This addon simply detects if you are on a YouTube shorts page and automatically redirects you to the normal YouTube format.

Everything is done locally and no data is ever transferred to any 3rd party servers.

Example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/examplevideo Is redirected to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=examplevideo

This happens both when you click on a short in YouTube and when inputting a shorts URL directly into the address bar.

This extension redirects much quicker than other extensions. Other ones have to load the video first before it redirects. This one redirects before the page loads.

Redirected within a second and before the shorts page loaded.

Is YouTube Short Redirect Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube Short Redirect requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
