• (2023-09-01) Reed Raft: This was exactly what I was looking for. I just wish there was a section to add unlisted sites to redirect. I hope you add something like that in the next updates.
• (2023-05-26) Martin Kaskatiyski: Please remove https://nitter.pussthecat.org from the default redirect (they've shut down). Cheers
• (2023-04-27) Clemens Ratte-Polle: Youtube redirection to: http://kqo.mkoeop.com/go/ forwarding to: https://thedatelance.com/ with no Inet scoring... Not trustworthy
• (2023-03-02) Angel Andre Horna Aldana: Me encanta lo uso para abrir Freetube
• (2023-01-03) Nik D: Easiest day of my life since I integrated this in my daily workflow. why? First you get what you are looking for, no boilerplate, no redundant UI and so on. On top of that, it has a very smooth workflow that you don't even notice it. Remark: Instances are independent of this extension, so please check the corresponding pages (usually on GitHub) for up-to-date instances. Note that instances are built by the community, so please consider donating! (e.g. you can find Invidious -- youtube alternate -- instances here https://github.com/iv-org/invidious. )
• (2022-12-07) Void: Good shiz
• (2022-07-12) Erik Levin: It's no longer maintained, which sadly makes it not usable. A maintainer is needed to continuously curate the instance lists as those go down and new appear constantly. You can change the list in the settings, but it's an annoyance that every user should have to do that - would be better if a project maintainer could respond to pull requests and have a good community-curated list.
• (2022-05-25) Taehl: Great idea, poor execution. Doesn't always redirect like it should, and when it does, most of the alternative sites are down or have no results. No point in using an extension that only breaks things.
• (2022-04-26) Vedexent: BROKEN AND ABANDONED Sorry - this extension MIGHT have worked well, close to an update ( which has now not occurred in over 8 months ), but it seems to fall apart rapidly. Why? Because services like Invidious and Nitter work off volunteer hosted instances, which appear and are added to the server pool, go down temporarily, or disappear entirely. This is why both services maintain instances lists, so you can see what servers are available, and how well they're working, in real time. That list is fluid. From the behavior of this extension, I'm guessing that the author captured an instance list at some point in the past, and the extension now randomly forwards you to one of those off a hard-coded list. Problem is, that list is out of date, and now - more often than not - the extension is trying to forward you to a no-longer-running server instance for Invidious or Nitter. If I keep hammering on the link, I'll EVENTUALLY randomly get forwarded to a server that still exists - but it's a royal PITA, since I'm guesstimating that >50% of the forward attempts are aimed at defunct servers. The basic idea is a good one - but the implementation is flawed, at best. Perhaps if the extension had been built to pull the list of healthy active instances periodically, and store it locally, it would work reasonably well - but right now, its list of servers is pretty broken, and the author's comment in the reviews WRT to redirections to dead instances is "can't be helped!". This is 80% of an extension, which the author slapped a donate button on top of. If you hunt around for the GitHub repo it hasn't been updated in forever, and there are an impressive number of unresolved issues including "Is this project still maintained?". It looks like the developer has abandoned the project to the point where they're not even managing pull requests, much less working on the code themselves, ( although their Donate $$$ To Me links are all pristine, of course ). DO NOT USE.
• (2022-04-05) Vuk Milicevic: 5 out of 5, because... The best there is, and yet to be better. Thank you.
• (2022-03-30) They She: Wonderful extension! It's simple to use and it helps me to use other links and embeds versus the default YouTube player! 10/10 highly recommend for anyone who wants a more custom experience.
• (2022-03-02) Andre: Unfortunately doesn't work anymore, neither most of the opensource mirrors this app links to like for twitter and instagram are not valid, so this addon does nothing but break things.
• (2021-12-16) Jayme: I like it. OpenStreetMaps redirect does not seem to work as intended for me. It does redirect Google Maps, but not to the same location I searched (always returns the same initial location). Could we possibly have the option to select random instance pool for libreddit redirects?
• (2021-11-10) TheUpsideDownWorld: Amazin. Would be even cooler if it had an option to redirect youtube to odysee/lbry like this app, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/watch-on-lbry/jjmbbhopnjdjnpceiecihldbhibchgek that way I have less extensions installed. Either way cool extension
• (2021-09-30) Paul Edward: possibly my new favorite extension. I had a hodgepodge of scripts that were doing a barely passable job of executing what this seems to do flawlessly. Kudos Dev, thanks for a killer extension and improving my browsing experience. Question for Simon Brazell (or anyone else for that matter): Do you know if the wiki2.org frontend can be used in tandem with Wikiless? Because if so, that would be like having one's cake and eating it, too... which is how I prefer my cake. Thanks again!
• (2021-09-11) R: I coded my own version of this Chrome extension, and shortly after completing it I discovered your GitHub repo. At least I learned how to do something on my own. I will say that your code is probably safer and has tons more features than mine.
• (2021-09-01) Phillip Li: works great for my purposes-- reddit and google search engine redirects.
• (2021-03-25) Liam Davis: Stellar, just what I was looking for. Works great so far.
• (2021-03-14) Amus3d Wr3kg: not maintained -- old code. UNINSTALL THIS IMMEDIATELY received an error that with Invidious I had experienced a bug and to open a ticket with the github project. I did, was told it that the code was incredibly old and they had nothing to do with this extension. Devs that do not maintain their code leaves your browsers vulnerable to malware. DO NOT USE THIS.
• (2021-02-22) R no: Just installed it. Great idea! 502 bad gateway on instagram. Twitter a little funky, bad tbh twitter is thrash. Really lonking forward for a Linkedin and Quora frontend! Thank you!
• (2021-02-05) aisling: Adding "Open link using Privacy Redirect" in the context menu of the browsers secondary mouseclick (on hyperlinks) would be very useful. Maybe as an optional feature in the addons preferences. For people who haven't activated the addon generally/globally. I hope this sounds reasonable for the developers, too. Thank you in advance. I like this addon very much, appreciate your work. =)
• (2021-01-11) Djamy DOE: J'ai ce module depuis pratiquement la sortie (du moins en test pour un article. Il esst acttif pmais je ne l utilise pas, Là j'ai passé 1h à isoler un problème, en réinitialisant Chrome, diverses analyses MBAM, AdwareCleaner, et réseaux J'ai isolé le module qui posait problème, il est le seul actif Dès lors qu'on utilise google on a des redirections sur d'autres moteurs de recherche (Google search hijacked) Si je désactive le module tout redevient normal Une explication peut être ?
• (2020-09-29) Douglas Lang: Invidious: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed, or because the format is not supported" on Chrome current (85). Okay, so then why am I then being presented with so many video links that "fail to load"? I dId everything possible to make this app function including GitLab's uMatrix workaround. UNINSTALLED!!
• (2020-09-04) Daniel Osborn: Very useful! Thank you to the DEVs
• (2020-08-31) Andrea Magini: Ottima estensione, consigliata.
• (2020-08-01) Keith Bruggemann: Works for everything except twitter. Can't get nitter to come up in place of any twitter URL
• (2020-07-02) Malte Kiefer: Thanks for this amazing tool. Can you make an option to redirect Google Search to DuckDuckGo or different pages? And Google Translate to https://www.deepl.com/translator
• (2020-03-13) Jimsies Kimsiez: Love it! but hey dev can you make an option to redirect youtube to invidious works ONLY on embed video? thats would be more convenient!
• (2019-09-26) Corinne Neville: Best extension!
