I'm using https://libredirect.github.io/ so whenever I click a YouTube link it opens it on some Invidious instance
That's great except they're always down
For YouTube? Not for me, and if some instance is down I just click "Remove + Autopick" on the addon and it redirects to other instance... if all instances are down, I can choose other 12 frontends to use from the addon menu (but I never did, I have only used Invidious so far)
use a front end, like invidious
Browser containers?
