is there a way to simply install a addon in firefox to redirect all youtube links to piped links?

Anything that can be done to destroy youtubes monopoly is a good thing.

Not going to happen with self hosted stuff. People really have no idea how much storage or bandwidth YouTube uses.

Personally I just use Redirector because all the add-ons specific for invidious are either broken or set to instances that are dead!
