No Shorts Extension

An extension that redirects YouTube short player urls to the normal YouTube player.
I created this extension for my own use, as being unable to navigate short videos irritated me, and decided to publish it.

It does one job, and only one job.
The only permission it needs is tabs, to handle YouTube onsite redirects.
