Comment on YouTube is deliberately crippling Firefox on ARM systems
Lorgres@lemmy.world 6 months agoThere are other alternatives too, like invidious. The yewtu.be instance works decently well for me but limits to 720p I think. There is a list of all running instances somewhere on the github iirc. There’s other instances that allow full HD, just have a search and you should be able to find one.

Just redirect any watch page to redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=%ID% and you will get a list of instances. Can be setup with Redirector in a minute

Well, I just got Redirector last night to check it out and it took me some time to figure out how to get it to work right where I have youtube.com/watch?v=* redirecting to yewtu.be/watch?v=$1 in case there is something funky going on there that causes me to need to have that redirect active.

My YouTube redirect rule is a bit more complex, but works for all shorts, youtu.be and regular youtube links and it supports time stamps and videos that are part of a playlist.
Set the rule to regular expression, use this one
(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtube\.com\/(?:watch\?v=|shorts\/)|youtu\.be\/)([^&?\/]+[&?]?.*)and redirect to https://%yourinstanceofchoice%/watch?v=$1
Enjoy!

Okay, what I was trying to do with Redirector is have it so I can search and browse videos on YouTube, but when I click on something that I want to watch, it forwards me to the same video on YewTu.be instead.
