I'd like to suggest an option to automatically redirect shorts URLs to normal ones.

What type of URLs are we talking about? Youtu.be ones or something else?

AFAIK, youtu.be redirects links to main domain by itself.

youtube.com/shorts/<ID> URLs. Some videos in the search results automatically open in this format, but you can easily change it to a normal URL by replacing the shorts/ with watch?v= in the URL. An example video is https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DngSe0HwstM.

Partially implemented in 2.14.0. I don't touch links for now (haven't seen them), but pages loaded as "shorts" will now be redirected to "watch" ones. Hope this solves the issue you have.
