Seamlessly play YouTube Shorts with the normal desktop interface
Shorts Deflector is a free Chrome extension developed by Attituding. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
When clicking on a YouTube Short on a desktop, it usually brings up the mobile-optimized interface, which lacks certain features like video scrubbing, easy access to comments, and view count. This can be frustrating for users who prefer the desktop experience.
Shorts Deflector solves this problem by allowing users to seamlessly watch YouTube Shorts with the normal desktop interface. The extension uses various techniques to ensure a smooth and fast transition to the desktop viewer. Once installed, users can enjoy the full functionality of the desktop interface while watching YouTube Shorts.
It's worth noting that upon installation, the extension requests the "Read your browsing history" permission. However, this permission is solely used to detect page updates and does not compromise user privacy.
