Another reason I have shorts hidden with untrap
Shorts as a format I think are fine. However, you should click on the videos deliberately after reading the titel and watching the thumbnail, like all other videos. Not use the "TikTok" feed.
Protip: If you replace the "shorts" in the URI with "watch", the short gets treated like a normal video and gets the usual UI. There are browser extensions that automatically redirect you so you never have to deal with the weird shorts interface.
Well, for Gecko. I'm not sure if Chromium extensions can do that these days.
Agreed... Unfortunately that is how they are delivered so I hide it from homepage and bar... If I want to watch them I go to a specific creator page for their content with auto play disabled
Morphite has a way to do this (by replacing the shorts player with the normal player)
