I'd like to have something that automatically convert links to the #privacy preserving version in the browser. Like play #youtube links in #invidious, etc. There seems to be things like #UntrackMe but for me the question is which one to trust, is maintained, works well enough, etc. Once I find a tool that I think it generally applicable, then I work to get it into #Debian so its easy for others to make this decision. Is there a browser extension for this that is worth getting into Debian?
@eighthave I’m using https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect and am reasonably happy with the user experience …
@Nebukadneza @eighthave Privacy Redirect does indeed work quite well, but instead of #Invidious you should configure it to use #Piped.
The developer describes it like this:
If you haven't heard about Piped before, in simple terms, it is an alternative frontend that is designed to be efficient by design, where you can watch YouTube without making any connections to Google's servers and have subscriptions without a google account.
@egnun
I use it with piped, and it just works. Just enter a piped url in the advanced settings - you just don't have preconfigured insurances in the dropdown
@eighthave
@eighthave, you might want to check out libredirect (I don’t use it myself to actually recommend).
