This is a plugin I found recently and really enjoy. It gives you the opportunity to redirect several webpages to alternatives. For example Youtube to FreeTube or Piped. If I search for youtube in Firefox, FreeTube automatically opens and shows me my feed. I like it, I use it, I can recommend it.

Shouldn’t it just require access to i.e. YouTube.com and not a blanket everything? This is what other extensions do.

It can redirect a dozen other services too

Just add them to the list. They have to code separate rules anyway.
