That's not even true. I use my custom instance for Piped and Libreddit in LibRedirect on all my devices.

eruchitanda@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe problem with all those addons is that you’re limited, you can use only what they already set for you.
Redirector is more flexible.

It is, but it already has all the services that most would use with big QoL features compared to Redirector. Namely quickly adding and removing instances, and quickly enabling and disabling redireciton for specific services. And is a lot easier to use in general especially for people who don’t know regex.
Plus Libredirect has a few features that redirector doesn’t, the ability to redirect to multiple different instances, and the ability to redirect embedded content such as any embedded youtube videos on any other website.
But as you said, redirector is more flexible if you need it for something other than the ~20 services that LibRedirect handles.

Redirector does embedded content, too. And stylesheets, scripts and anything (if you select it).

All of this only makes sense if you’re redirecting to a frontend, right? Not an alternative platform? For instance, it would be nice to redirect all Goodreads links to Bookwyrm, but I’m not sure if this is possible. (Already got it set to redirect to Biblioreads, but just curious since Bookwyrm is what I actually use.)
