I’m currently in the process of switching from YouTube to Piped and was getting fed up with rewriting YouTube links myself. I finally found an extension that can do this with a relatively easy setup:
Thought maybe more people might find this interesting. My setup is in the pic.
Edit: @nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de Just suggested using LibRedirect which is even better than Redirector. Also since Redirector isn’t really maintained anymore.
Piped redirect is too early, YouTube is still actively opposing attempts like Piped and because of that Piped only works sometimes, on certain instances, and that’s not what anyone wants. It’s worse than having a predictable ad skip to navigate.
I applaud the effort, but the Piped application needs to be stabilized. Not at all ready for prime time.

I hear you. And I use it all the time myself. I was just commenting on the idea of redirecting to it.
Well I’ve been using it for a while now on android and can’t complain. I don’t miss any videos from channels I’m subscribed to and It’s waaay better than using YouTube privacy-wise. As long as it works I’ll be using it.

Yes it works but LibreTube is even better

LibreTube with Piped API disabled is where it’s at.
