    This extension enables redirects from YouTube `/shorts/<id>` links to `/watch?v=<id>` links for external YouTube shorts.
    
    Why?
    
    - You have shorts blocked by another extension (e.g. by "YouTube Unhook").
    - You still want to be able to watch shorts opened externally (the link which someone has sent to you).
    
    This extension makes this easy.
