The extension currently doesn't handle YouTube.de (unless it is redirected to YouTube.com) but you can choose your custom instance. I'll add more features soon

It would be great if we could have a YAML config within the settings for all custom (or not) redirects. And if such lists were synced from some repo and then only locally sorted or trimmed by ..ping, for example. Something like:

  • source site RegEx to match:
    • redirect to this instance
    • or here's another one, maybe even with a different alternative frontend.

Yeah I will add refreshable list of instances, custom lists probably not(extension stores has many restrictions on remote code loading)
