Love the extension, but it’s a shame not all the alternate front-ends work. The Reddit ones stopped working a while ago, the fandom one is unreliable, lots of other ones are just a tad too slow.
The fact it’s a constant cat-and-mouse game is pretty bad too. But at least an extension can be updated.
The Piped Bot that’s running around adding non-YouTube alternative to YouTube posts is doing a commendable service, but I wonder how long it’ll be until they succumb to link rot. I know a couple of any favorite Invidious instances went down after I sent links to people.
Not a complete alternative but check out Indie Wiki Buddy extension for independent wikis that are shifting away from Fandom.
mossbag on YouTube has a good video on it.
If your hardware supports, you may self-host your favourite privacy frontends (e.g. LibReddit) on docker on your system, and point that extension to your self-hosted privacy frontend servers.
Some instances doesn’t work, but reddit frontends work for me.
If libredirect integration is ever going to be added to URLCheck, it’s going to be a life-changer.
