People are installing and uninstalling ad blockers in record high numbers as a result of YouTube's anti-ad blocking efforts.

    is there a way to simply install a addon in firefox to redirect all youtube links to piped links?

    Anything that can be done to destroy youtubes monopoly is a good thing.

      Personally I just use Redirector because all the add-ons specific for invidious are either broken or set to instances that are dead!

      Not going to happen with self hosted stuff. People really have no idea how much storage or bandwidth YouTube uses.
