Have you tried the LibRedirect browser add-on?

It automatically redirects you to FOSS, privacy-focused Alternative Front-ends of big-tech sites/non private platforms.

There are alternative front-ends to YouTube, Twitter, Medium, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, etc.

Each of these sites has a list of Alternative Front-ends' servers which you can select for the service to redirect to. You can also add Custom Instances.

So, when you click on a YouTube link, say youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXc it automatically redirects you to invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v= for example.

Firefox Addon: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef

Chromium/Chrome/Edge: github.com/libredirect/libredi

LibRedirect git link: github.com/libredirect/libredi

Do check it out, it's fun and has a lot of interesting sections in it.

Yup, though I noticed it doesn't work within the mobile browser!

Technically you can use it from your browser by long-pressing the link and choosing "open in external app" (which is annoying and LibRedirect solves this), but where it really shines is for links in other apps.

@Parienve
Yup!

I use another Fedi app made by the same makers as UnTrack Me called FediLab! It's one of the best!
