Invidition

Redirects YouTube and Twitter to their alternative ads-free, privacy-friendly, interfaces.
Download Install

Features & Capabilities

Invidition was a Chrome extension designed to redirect YouTube and Twitter requests to alternative, ads-free, and privacy-friendly interfaces called Invidious and Nitter. It ensured no direct requests to YouTube or Twitter would occur by transparently redirecting them in the background. Users could customize Invidious settings and select preferred instances, including their own custom ones.

The extension supported quick configuration from its popup menu and was compatible with other extensions like uMatrix and NoScript, with some manual configuration required. Importantly, Invidition respected user privacy by not collecting data, though the chosen instances might have their own policies. However, note that Invidition is now deprecated and no longer maintained. Users are encouraged to switch to the alternative Privacy Redirect extension by Simon Brazell for similar functionalities.

As it's no longer maintained, I don't use this extension for redirecting. However, I keep it around for one very helpful feature: clean Invidious link copying. For some reason, this feature is not mentioned in the about, but it has saved me so much time I would have spent editing the links manually. Thank you.

Is Invidition Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Invidition requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Invidition has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
