No Shorts wót AweSamarth

YouTube Shorts, when viewed on a computer, use a completely different player with a whole new format. Scrubbing (going back / forward by a few seconds) is impossible, the description is basically hidden and the scroll-down-to-view-comments instinct now fails. I would rather view suggestions on the right hand side than just jump to a new video on the slightest scroll. To do just that, I made this extension.

This extension restores the old YouTube player when viewing Shorts. It does so by making use of the declarativeNetRequest API, which is only available in Manifest V3. No script injection takes place.
