Spotify does this too if I recall.

Firefox has a plugin called ClearURLs that cleans URLs across the entire web, not just YouTube. Might be available on Chrome too.

@[email protected] you can also do this with ublock origin by adding actually legitimate url shortener as a custom filter

@kit @Flaky this sounds fancy, beside the basic filtering I never used any advanced features, will try that out! Thanks!
