LibRedirect: Redirect YouTube, Twitter, Instagram to privacy friendly services
Fantastic extension. I self-host Invidious, Teddit, Nitter, and Bibliogram and configured LibRedirect to use only my private instances. Unfortunately, the community instances are often either overloaded or down entirely. It's hard to imagine going back to the "real" sites...they are all so user-hostile.<p>Since Android doesn't support browser extensions, I accomplish the same thing using the Bromite browser along with a handful of UserScripts to redirect youtube/twitter/etc to my private instances.<p>Edit: Yes, I know Firefox for Android supports extensions, but the work required [0] to actually install any extension other than the handful "blessed" by Mozilla borders on hilarity. Firefox for Android seemed pretty good a few years ago, but at some point since then Mozilla has done a full redesign of the GUI and the whole thing now feels janky to me. I tried using it for a couple days and just couldn't bear it. My impression is that Mozilla is letting it languish.<p>For simplicity, I use the exact same setup for all my family's Android phones (GrapheneOS with a persistent wireguard connection back to the house) and Firefox was just too strange for the non-technical people to use.<p>In addition, GrapheneOS makes some pretty compelling arguments [1] against FF-based browsers.<p>Lest anyone accuse me of being a Firefox hater, I do use it on the desktop.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.ghacks.net/2020/10/01/you-can-now-install-any-add-on-in-firefox-nightly-for-android-but-it-is-complicated/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ghacks.net/2020/10/01/you-can-now-install-any-ad...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing" rel="nofollow">https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing</a>
