Redirector.json (My Config) + Explanation

1-Redirector.md

What is Redirector?

This is my personal config for the brilliant Redirector add-on (GitHub). It pretty much does what the name says: It redirects you from location A to location B.

What is the point of this config?

The focus of my config is privacy (or a subjectively better user interface). For many cases, it uses the great Farside.link (GitHub), to find a working instance, since these tend to come and go.

What redirects are included?

You can find the following redirects in my config (unless otherwise noted, those only affect the links themselves and not any kind of embeds!):

• Reddit ➡ Redlib
• Instagram (Profiles & Posts) ➡ Proxigram
• Google Translate ➡ Lingva
• Twitter ➡ Nitter
• Medium ➡ Scribe
• Google ➡ LibreY
• YouTube (+nocookie) ➡ FreeTube
  • if you aren't using the fantastic FreeTube Client (GitHub), you should disable or edit this. You could use piped or invidious instead (check Farside.link!)
• YouTube (+nocookie) Embeds ➡ Individous Embeds
• GitHub-Wiki-See.page ➡ GitHub
• TikTok ➡ ProxiTok
• Imgur ➡ Rimgo
• Fandom Wiki ➡ Breezewiki
  • I recommend using Indie Wiki Buddy (https://getindie.wiki/) for this usecase and disabling this one.
• Quotra ➡ Quetre
• IMDb ➡ libremdb
• Genius ➡ Dumb (#relatable)
• StackOverflow ➡ AnonymousOverflow
• StackExchange ➡ AnonymousOverflow
• View Curseforge Projects directly (disabled by default)
• View All Curseforge Files (disabled by default)

First of all, great work!

Unfortunately, Bibliogram is completely gone.

@schtobia Yeah, sadly that seems to be the case. The only working alternative I know of is imginn.com, but that isn't necessarily privacy-friendly.

@Kreijstal What exactly is outdated?

Reddit, you should filter out reddit /media address otherwise you will not be able to see fullscreen images or when you click on videos or images it takes you somewhere else

Hey, thanks for reporting. I have not used reddit since the API changes. It now redirects to redlib, which is another privacy frontend which also supports the galleries, if found through the interface - direct links still don't seem to work.
