Redirector

Add custom URL redirects, e.g. automatically use Piped or Invideous instance instead of YouTube, use Nitter instead of Twitter, remove Google amp

Edit: I just found out about Libredirect from this post - seems like functionally the same thing I'm using Redirector for, but with rules built in.

Yeah same. I initially used it for YouTube/Twitter but realized that it's reinventing the wheel that libredirect already created, and doesnt have the same features like pinging instances or being able to cycle through instances if one goes down.

I still find redirector useful, but now use it for things like redirecting away from guilty pleasure websites or when my locally-hosted teddit doesn't properly handle internal links.

I had never thought about using Redirector to lock myself out of websites! That's brilliant. I need to do that. Zero self control when I should be working.
