A simple web extension that redirects Twitter, YouTube, Instagram & Google Maps requests to privacy friendly alternatives.

You can actually pair this with a browser extension: Privacy Redirect[0].

You can setup your own self-hosted instances or existing third party ones. It's a game changer both for privacy and UX.

Try installing Privacy Redirect[0] and replace Youtube with an Invidious instance. You'll get all the content you care minus the atrocious algos (plus some obvious privacy bonus).
