Thank you to everyone who reviewed the extension!
I have done edits to make the options for each site viewable.

The UI issue with the extensions options has been fixed and version 1.0.3 is uploading now (pushed to GitHub, which details all changes).
Privacy Please automatically redirects you from mainstream platforms to privacy-respecting frontends. Hop on the GitHub to modify, and change anything you want.
Instead of being tracked on YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, or Google, this extension sends you to lightweight, privacy-focused alternatives like Invidious, Nitter, Libreddit, and SearXNG. No tracking, no ads, no logins required.
You can change the provider in options.
For example youtube has 5 different providers you can choose from.
You can also enable or disable specific sites.
Key Features:
Seamless redirection from sites like YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit, TikTok, and Google Search
Fully customizable: enable/disable specific sites individually
Select your preferred instances for each frontend
Lightweight and fast, with no performance impact
No account required, and no data collected
Example Redirects:
YouTube → Invidious
Twitter/X → Nitter
Reddit → Libreddit
TikTok → ProxiTok
Google Search → SearXNG
Medium → Scribe
Why Use It?
Most major platforms aggressively track you, inject ads, and require accounts just to view public content. Privacy Redirect cuts through all that, giving you clean, anonymous access via open-source alternatives.
Zero tracking. No telemetry. Fully open-source.

- (2025-07-07) Dan Z. (DZ-Aladan): The idea is great on paper, but I believe this app still needs work to function properly. To summarize: I'm using it on Vivaldi 7.5.3735.44; despite me disabling any redirect (I disabled YouTube only at first) and saving the settings, the app ignores the saved settings and performs redirects anyway. It could be something exclusive to me, but I think it's worth pointing out if you're running my same browser.
- (2025-05-22) R Thorngot: Worked to redirect the site I wanted. All other sites (such as Google) can have their functionality restored by revoking the extension's "Site access" (found at { chrome://extensions/ }, scrolling or { 'CTRL' + 'F' }ing to "Privacy Please', clicking on {Details}, toggling off { Automatically allow access on the following sites } in the {Site access} section, then toggling back any sites you want to be affected. Also @Dev. I know the following goes against the core purpose of sticking to privacy-focused alternatives, but it'd be nice if we could manually add instances to redirect sites to. For (my antithetical) example, being able to redirect {music.youtube} to {www.youtube} would shave seconds off of me having to type the main corporate site manually.
- (2025-05-20) Aaron Groom: Great idea, but all my searches get redirected to searx.spaces, then a page can't be found error. Had to remove else I lose all search functionality.
- (2025-05-10) Arsh Srivastava: Some of the frontends work, others don't (searx doesn't work). If possible, make it so it always redirects the links to the preferred frontend. One suggestion- Make the extension available on click, as in a pop-up appears asking me if i want to use the front-end in a particular case or not. An overall useful extension
- (2025-05-05) Arthur D: Great idea, execution could be better. Yewtube does not supports live streams, will be keeping extension off until that issue will become adressed
- (2025-05-04) André S.: Simple but cool idea, unfortunately the execution isn't as good. Most of the websites aren't working here.
- (2025-05-04) Kim Cosmos: Give it to grandma. Now I have to work out which replaced extensions I can uninstall. Simple, obvious, amazing... In Brave I had to left click>manage>turn off automatic access>re-enable access one by one except for my exception. because pinned fast options menu OFF for site didn't apply
- (2025-04-29) Joshua Salles (omghax): Best extension ever, it even did my laundry for me - 10/10
- (2025-04-28) Shawn: Saw it on the SamBent YouTube channel. I believe this should have been released to GitHub first, before moving it to the extension stores. I see a section called "site specific settings", however nothing below that. Automatically redirects to Invidious website... Then seems to redirect my searches to: searx.space with a "page can't be found" ... I believe this extension could have done a better job by giving the user resources to increase privacy, like privacy badger, adblocking and etc. To note, when I go to Sam's website that there's indication of a lot of blocked images, likely from the strict DNS setup I have for adblocking etc, however the site is almost not readable.
- (2025-04-28) BRANDON SCHMIDT: I think this is a handy extension I like how it takes me where i want to go when i click on the youtube shortcut or other main stream bookmarks I already have listed
- (2025-04-28) Divine M.: Options button doesn't even work. I trusted based off of a YouTube title, though, so maybe that's what I get. Installed and uninstalled! And hey— my first Google review!
- (2025-04-28) Valentin WY: The settings aren't showing for me. Nor are most of the buttons (save settings, options).
- (2025-04-28) Christian: Some of the extensions dosent work
- (2025-04-28) Veeti Lind: This is technically an extremely simple addon. And somehow the dev wasn't unable to make anyhthing work. The link's it redirects to are completely broken.
- (2025-03-22) J S: So far so good. Working properly.
