I made a user script for youtube which makes a piped button beside each video.

I made a user script that will make a button on each video which jump you to piped, that way you can continue to use YT to manage your subscriptions and see your feed, but you never have to watch to video there

Neat idea, but you should give the button a position: absolute style. That way it'll stay inside the thumbnail element. Right now it positions itself statically as an inline element, outside the thumbnail on the right. You can then use left or right properties to make it stick to one side.

Is there a site where you can search for scripts? What's everyone's preference for the extension brand (greasemonkey etc)

Have you heard about invidious?

yep!

Did you know there are add-ons for Firefox taking you directly to invidious if you load any youtube link?

LibRedirect works for not only redirecting YouTube to Invidious (or Piped if you prefer) but also for alternative front ends for other services, like Nitter for Twitter.

Would someone be kind enough to explain what piped is?

frontend or scrapper for youtube.
Are you planning to watch some video on youtube on desktop? Instead watch it here: https://piped.video/trending
say for example this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfIqtQ3eClM
watch it here: https://piped.video/watch?v=EfIqtQ3eClM
The best thing is you got no telemetry (your data not being tracked), no ads and you can download the video you're watching. The project is open source on github, and you can host it on your own server if you prefer not have someone in the middle between you and Youtube.

I wonder if there's a browser extension for replacing YouTube links on every website with piped links. If not, maybe I should write one.
