I have a redirector rule that redirects youtube.com/shorts/whatever with youtube.com/watch?v=whatever, so it uses the good player when I open a short.

Example URL: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/abcdefghijk
Include pattern: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/*
Redirect to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1
Pattern type: Wildcard
