User reviews

This extension is a good idea, but missing features such as the ability to just type in whatever instance you want or to have it redirect to whatever page you want. On top of that, piped works maybe 10% of the time, and while invidious is more reliable, it still only works maybe 30% of the time. That's not really this extension's fault, but if you're hoping to use this as an alternative way to watch youtube videos, it's probably not going to work without being annoying at best.
