## Description

This is a lightweight extension available both for firefox and chromium based browsers. It redirects all youtube URLS with videos, e.g., "<a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/35a5d532b9900ed141e34bcd74b6ba64bed84189414d154db740133b32760a03/http%3A//youtube.com/watch%3Fv=somevideoid" rel="nofollow">youtube.com/watch?v=somevideoid</a>", to an invidious instance, selected by the user. Invidious is a lot more private than YouTube. It doesn't require you to sign in, although you can do it if you want to have your subscription feed saved. It is also open-source, so it is also safe. More about them on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/1b90f4ab29feee2e677ca05ca0360c00bc5515312305a0b360191381ae233e78/http%3A//invidious.io" rel="nofollow">invidious.io</a>. This extension is also open-source, source code available on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/2e32f057a78df41bff274cad57085e49d6a2734167acd011efa9d1023f6fd583/https%3A//github.com/EinKaffeeBitte/YT2Invidious" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/EinKaffeeBitte/YT2Invidious</a>. I have nothing to do with Invidious, this is a personal project.
