    I’ve given up on YouTube because of its terrible interface and just use tube archivist + Jellyfin.

      You can take the video ID of a shorts URL and paste it into a regular video URL to open it in the less dogshit UI. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fxJicOO_dBw -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxJicOO_dBw

      You could make a greasemonkey script that does this automatically.

    That part is the worst. I am sick and tired of websites breaking the back button! When I click back it’s because I wanted to see the thing that was there before. If I wanted it to just refresh from scratch I would reload the page instead!

    It’s not just YouTube, by the way. Even Lemmy does that shit too!

      I still see websites doing that shit where you click back and end up on a page that redirects you to where you where.
