Wanted to share the libredirect Firefox plugin, for abandoning Youtube. - eviltoast

This is a plugin I found recently and really enjoy. It gives you the opportunity to redirect several webpages to alternatives. For example Youtube to FreeTube or Piped. If I search for youtube in Firefox, FreeTube automatically opens and shows me my feed. I like it, I use it, I can recommend it.

    It’s open source, you can ask the author and other users about it too (if you can’t read the code yourself)

      Oh, I’m confident(-ish) in my ability to review the code, but as I understand it I have no way to guarantee that the code that’s on github is the code that AMO installs. Plus updates are automatic, so I have no way to ensure that something malicious won’t be added anyway.
