Shorts, but with controls

Click any Short and it opens in the regular player. Skip around, speed up, go fullscreen, read comments beside the video.

You choose how Shorts open

Redirect every Short automatically, or keep the Shorts feed and convert only when you want. Hide Shorts from your feeds entirely if you'd rather not see them.
