by Firefox user 13163623, prieš 4 metusWas a great tweak until an update a few days ago, Changes to permissions from just a couple websites, to everything.. why? (to protect from youtube embedded or Twitter all over the place?) was not explained and no patch notes either. - Removed Extention

posted prieš 4 metusHi thanks for the feedback, I really should have communicated this change better.
The change to permissions was unfortunately required to allow embedded videos within iframes which were not working properly prior to this change. The reason full URL access is needed for this particular fix is because prior to this the extension was only listening for requests that originate from youtube, so if a request was made from an iframe embedded within a different site this extension would not see it and so would not redirect embedded youtube videos as expected.
The discussion for this change can be found here on the project repo:

I hope this helps to clear things up, and apologies for the lack of explanation.

Ne fontionne pas pour les redirections vers Invidious lorsque le lien "Youtube" est" "youtube-nocookies" ex :
https://www.youtube-nocookie.com https://www.youtube.com https://s.ytimg.com;; frame-src 'self' https://www.youtube-nocookie.com https://www.youtube.com;
Hi,,
Redirection to Invidious doesn't work with "youtube-nocookies" links ex :
https://www.youtube-nocookie.com https://www.youtube.com https://s.ytimg.com;; frame-src 'self' https://www.youtube-nocookie.com https://www.youtube.com;

- Rated 2 out of 5by Douginamug, prieš metusA good add-on, but no longer maintained. Youtube redirects don't respect browser autoplay settings, and play on load - annoying!
This add-on was forked and continues to be maintained as LibRedirect: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ - Rated 5 out of 5by priyanshurai, prieš metus

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17863908, prieš metusI use this on Icecat and it works. So I installed it on Waterfox from addons.mozilla.org...cue the "Is this the same addon?" This version almost none of the redirects work. Sketchy buy this domain domains, 404's, "Can't connect yada yada." That is annoying but after a while I also noticed I'd load a site and just out of no where this started redirecting me to other domains for no reason. For example checking out something on AMD's website and BLAM it's sending me to connect.cafe which is dead and insecure. Often times it will redirect you to Facebook domains and other things the plugin is supposed to be explicitely avoiding...

- Rated 5 out of 5by confusing-wrinkle, prieš metusGreat extension that makes it super easy to manage twitter, reddit and youtube redirections!
Little known features that some may not be aware of - you can put _any_ URL in the addon settings for each of the sites, you are not restricted to the specific front-ends listed here. Ex - You can use any piped instance instead of invidious for youtube. Using firefox nightly, you can also use this on mobile! - Rated 4 out of 5by plex, prieš 2 metusPas mal du tout :)
Mais, étant donné que toutes les instances ne sont plus en ligne, et que d'autres s'adonnent à des redirections pour le moins bizarre, on souhaiterait, si cela était possible, deux petits boutons:
- un pour pouvoir signaler une instance qui s'adonne à ce genre de redirections bizarres vers des sites de e-commerce ou autres,
- un pour pouvoir changer d'instance; parce que lorsque l'on est pris dans le jeu des redirections, ce sont des manœuvres pas poss pour parvenir à y échapper et c'est pénible.
Sinon super idée, merci :) - Rated 5 out of 5by maikcheck, prieš 2 metus
