Jason Kim 24bf815516 note: explain why redirect is needed for redd.it

If you try visiting a redd.it site like <https://redd.it/1fwqjw> (first
link that came up when searching "site:redd.it"), you may think that the
redirect works because it goes to your configured instance.  However,
there's a leak: redd.it is a redirect to a www.reddit.com site, and
that's when the redirect to instance happens.  If you observe the
network traffic, you'll see that a GET request goes to redd.it, and
redd.it returns HTTP code 302 and location https://www.reddit.com/...

Let's not do that.  Redirect at redd.it so that requests don't hit
reddit servers.  This does not seem to work for teddit instances, so
don't redirect for them.

About

A web extension that redirects Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Google Maps, Reddit & Google Search requests to privacy friendly alternatives - Nitter, Invidious, FreeTube, Bibliogram, OpenStreetMap & Private Search Engines like DuckDuckGo and Startpage.

It's possible to toggle all redirects on and off. The extension will default to using random instances if none are selected. If these instances are not working, you can try and set a custom instance from the list below.

Custom instances

Privacy Redirect allows setting custom instances, instances can be found here:

Nitter instances
Invidious instances
Bibliogram instances
OpenStreetMap tile servers
Reddit alternatives:
- Libreddit
- Teddit
- Snew
- Old Reddit & Mobile Reddit, purported to be more privacy respecting than the new UI.
Google Search alternatives:
- SearX
- DuckDuckGo
- Startpage
- Ecosia
- Qwant
- Mojeek
- Presearch
- Whoogle

Permissions

Please note, access to all website navigation events ( all URLs), not just the target domains, is required to allow embedded video redirects to occur. At this time I know of no other way to achieve iframe redirects, happy to hear some suggestions on this though 🙂
