Description

Libredirect is an extension that redirects popular sites (YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) to open source frontends that respect your privacy

Reason for adding

This extension offers completely separate privacy benefits than anything else because it doesn’t just stop websites from tracking you, it doesn’t let you even send a request to the site, meaning the site can’t track your IP and the site is replaced with a privacy-friendly version
