Privacy Redirect: Redirects Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and more to privacy-friendly alternatives
Privacy Redirect is a free Chrome add-on developed by Simon Brazell. As the name suggests, this program redirects popular social media platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram to privacy-friendly alternatives. It aims to provide users with a more secure and private browsing experience.
With Privacy Redirect, you have the option to set custom instances and toggle all redirects on or off. This gives you control over which websites you want to redirect and which ones you prefer to visit directly. The add-on also supports Nitter, Invidious, Bibliogram, and OpenStreetMap as privacy-friendly alternatives to their respective platforms.
The code for this web extension is available on GitHub, allowing users to contribute and review any updates or changes. If you appreciate the extension and want to support the project, you can consider donating to the developer via Buy Me a Coffee or Liberapay.
Please note that Privacy Redirect requires access to all website navigation events, not just the target domains, to enable embedded video redirects. The developer is open to suggestions on achieving iframe redirects more effectively.
