A browser extension that redirects requests to Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Google Maps, Reddit, Google Search, and Google Translate to privacy-friendly alternative frontends like Nitter, Invidious, and OpenStreetMap. It supports toggling redirects and configuring custom instances.
Use cases
- stop twitter from tracking me in the browser
- redirect youtube to invidious automatically
- browse instagram without an account or tracking
- replace google maps with openstreetmap links
- use a private google search alternative
- redirect reddit to a privacy-friendly frontend
When to choose
- you want automatic redirection to privacy-respecting frontends for major sites
- you use Firefox, Chrome, or Edge and want a lightweight set-and-forget extension
- you need configurable custom instances for Nitter, Invidious, or similar services
When to avoid
- you need a full ad blocker or tracker-blocking solution rather than URL redirection
- you rely on features of the original sites that alternative frontends lack
- you need actively maintained support, as development has slowed and some frontends like Bibliogram are defunct
