Open Shorts as Video is a Chrome extension developed by Deepak Kharah. It falls under the category of Browsers and the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This free extension allows users to open YouTube shorts as normal videos in a new tab, making navigation easier.

YouTube shorts often have sections that users may want to watch again, but the web version of YouTube does not provide a way to seek the video. This extension solves this problem by redirecting the page and opening the short as a video in a new tab with a single click. However, it should be noted that the extension does not currently include a pause function for the shorts.

With Open Shorts as Video, users can conveniently replay sections of YouTube shorts without having to wait for the video to loop or manually open the short as a video. This extension enhances the viewing experience and streamlines navigation for YouTube shorts enthusiasts.
