YT Shorts Switcher is a Chrome extension developed by mouri. This free add-on falls under the category of Browsers, specifically Add-ons & Tools.

The main purpose of this extension is to allow users to switch between the YouTube Shorts format player and the regular video format player with just a click of a button. With the YT Shorts Switcher, users can easily toggle between the two formats, making it convenient to watch Shorts videos in the normal player.

Additionally, the extension offers the option to automatically play Shorts videos in the normal player format. By checking the "Automatically display in normal player when Shorts URL is accessed" checkbox in the extension's options, users can ensure that Shorts videos always play in the preferred format. The extension also intelligently unchecks this checkbox temporarily when the extension button is pressed, allowing users to access the video in the normal player or press the button again to switch back to the Shorts format.

YT Shorts Switcher is a handy tool for YouTube users who prefer the regular video format over the Shorts format. With its simple yet effective functionality, it enhances the viewing experience by providing seamless switching between the two formats.
