While we're on the topic of unfucking youtube, do you know how I can turn shorts crappy player without controls into something that I can rewind? Sound volume controls would be nice too.

Invidious uses its regular player for shorts.

If you're watching on desktop, you can change the youtube video's url path from /shorts/video to youtube's usual ?watch=video and have it play in youtube's regular player. You can also just have an extension do this for you, which is what I do.
