Now that most invidious instances are dead or have serious issues, I would like to ask for the addon to support redirection to the embedded version of youtube videos. E.g. this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqz-KE-bpKQ
should direct to this
https://www.youtube.com/embed/aqz-KE-bpKQ

I know it is not privacy related, because it still uses youtube after all, but right now it is the only way to have a garbage-free playback of youtube's videos.

p.s. I do not use piped or any other alternative that the addon supports. I have checked most of them though.

you can use general redirector addon in firefox for this.

I had tried redirector years ago, but I found it hard to use because it needs regex. A week later I found privacy redirect and moved there, because it had everything already set up. Many months later I moved to libredirect because it is maintained.
