I’m looking for an addon to automatically convert YouTube links to Piped or similar front end. Thanks!

*Edit: specifically for the android mobile browser

    On FireFox Beta/Nightly and more privacy-focused forks, like Mull and Fennec, you can enable ‘Custom Add-on collection’.

    You can enable it by going to Settings > About <browser-name> > and tapping the logo 3(?) times.

    You can add your iwn account, or any shared ‘collection’.

    I find Redirector more useful than the other options, because you’re not limited, and can add any site you want.

    GL.

      AFAIK, adding a custom ‘collection’ is the only way to add custom add-on RN (or downloading browser like IceRaven, that simply does it for you).

        Neat, I had no idea that IceRaven had a custom collection built in. I stopped using IceRaven after I had discovered Mull. Perhaps I should give it another shot.

    You can install Libretube and make it the default handler for youtube and many public piped domains. This way when you click on a yt link it opens in Libretube and plays the video via your piped instance.

    On my phone it’s in the system settings for the app under “Open by default”.
