Title. I really like using the YouTube home page to find new content I’m not subscribed to since trending is hot garbage. I’d love to use the home page like I used to but have my browser redirect to piped after I click a video. Anyone have a solution?

      So I tried that, seems like a nice add-on, but it doesn’t seem to work when I click the videos on the homepage. If I then refresh the page with the video it’ll redirect though. Am I doing something wrong or does this have to do with how YouTube is sending me to the video?

        Do you not middle-click the videos to open in a new tab? Because it’s possible that YouTube is re-writing the page dynamically instead of actually sending you over to a new URL.

          Not usually, but that’s a habit I could form I suppose, if that’s the only answer

    This will work only if you open the link in a new tab:

    • Install LibRedirect.
    • Set up all the Piped instances you’d like to use for YouTube redirect.
    • On “General”, under “Excluded from redirecting”, add this as Regex: https?:\/\/(www\.|)youtube.com\/?$
