A web extension that redirects YouTube, Twitter, Instagram... requests to alternative privacy friendly frontends and backends
This is a plugin I found recently and really enjoy. It gives you the opportunity to redirect several webpages to alternatives. For example Youtube to FreeTube or Piped. If I search for youtube in Firefox, FreeTube automatically opens and shows me my feed. I like it, I use it, I can recommend it.
Yeah, that's what I currently do. I'm just constantly annoyed how restricted I seem to be in Firefox mobile in general with add-ons. No scripting add-on, no redirect add-on, no User Agent add-on. I still run Firefox as my main on all devices, but using it on mobile is definitely my least favorite.
I agree it it very annoying. I feel it goes against the whole libre and neutrality aspect of why firefox is important. I want the full linux-type experience on every device. :D
As the other comment says, it is possible to get addons in mobile FF . Tbh I have never done it. But I probably will someday.
I thought someone might say that, lol. It's good to know this extension will work that way. I have at least one extension that when using the custom collection method causes none of the extensions in the collection to load or work.
