Spread the word to install firefox based browser, use different frontends to block youtube ads in browser, Invidious and use piped youtube apps on android to block youtbe ads: Newpipe
is there a way to simply install a addon in firefox to redirect all youtube links to piped links?
Anything that can be done to destroy youtubes monopoly is a good thing.
Not going to happen with self hosted stuff. People really have no idea how much storage or bandwidth YouTube uses.

Personally I just use Redirector because all the add-ons specific for invidious are either broken or set to instances that are dead!
Thanks for the newpipe suggestion!
piped for desktop and libretube for mobile also a great option
And my work profile on my phone tells me to get fucked :(
Dammit
...or you can install firefox on android with uBlock origin and many other extensions, and use mobile youtube website
I'm using Firefox and ublock on Android and it's great but YouTube via mobile browser is definitely the worst experience after the official youtube app. LibreTube, NewPipe, PipePipe are all better options. Revanced is probably the best in theory but takes more work to get running. These are just the ones I've tried but there are even more options. I'm currently using PipePipe and it's great.
I have recently stumbled upon Grayjay and it has instantly replaced NewPipe on my phone
