Redirector allows you to specify a pattern to do that.
So I tried that, seems like a nice add-on, but it doesn't seem to work when I click the videos on the homepage. If I then refresh the page with the video it'll redirect though. Am I doing something wrong or does this have to do with how YouTube is sending me to the video?
Do you not middle-click the videos to open in a new tab? Because it's possible that YouTube is re-writing the page dynamically instead of actually sending you over to a new URL.
Not usually, but that's a habit I could form I suppose, if that's the only answer
This will work only if you open the link in a new tab:
- Install LibRedirect.
- Set up all the Piped instances you'd like to use for YouTube redirect.
- On "General", under "Excluded from redirecting", add this as Regex:
https?:\/\/(www\.|)youtube.com\/?$
