Predirect search engine to searx/Librex/whoogle/duckduckgo and redirection from google/bing/yandex
This is not currently a priority but contributions are welcome

Proposed solution: Make host permissions optional with a onboarding step during installation and updates(already in firefox), addressing the issue of extensions being disabled in Chrome and kiwi browser when new permissions are added.
Alternative: Take permission for all urls like libredirect but that is undesirable.

Hi, currently, users can only set custom domains by clicking the extension button. It would be great if they can be set under an option page in about:addon as well.

Describe the bug

Predirect doesn't support custom instances URL that contain HTTP basic login credentials, eg: https://username:[email protected]/

Even if we respect the format (no trailing slash + no https://) so username:[email protected] is used, it wont work.

The extension wont show that it doesn't work, and will just ignore it and open the original link

To Reproduce

Use a custom instance URL that contain HTTP basic login credentials

It would be help if it clarified in the README or the configuration popup's field, Custom Instance (Optional), what format the instance URL is supposed to be in. I was about ready to switch back to Libredirect as the addon was ignoring my custom instances and directing me to the same rate limited ones. It took me reading through the code to find that it should be example.com with no prefix or trailing slash and so you can't simply copy paste from the URL bar or a link.

I don't have a chrome developer account,as I don't have online payments mechanism.
If anyone can help ( by giving their developer account,by adding a payment method of 5$ to my account with gift card or something), please comment here or contact

Describe the bug
Reddit redirect is geo blocked in germany using librewolf browser on linux.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Be in germany.
2. Go to 'https://www.reddit.com/'
3. Get redirected
4. See error

Expected behavior
Redirect to 'https://safereddit.com/'.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• linux: [e.g. iOS]
• Browser [e.g. librewolf]
• Version [e.g. 122.0]
• Addon Version 1.2

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: [e.g. Fairphone 5]
• OS: [e.g. Android 13]
• Browser [e.g. fennec]
• Version [e.g. 121.1.0]

Additional context
Accessing 'https://safereddit.com' directly does work. Other redirects are working correctly. The redirect is also working on the smartphone without getting geo-blocked.

Accessing 'https://reddit.utsav2.dev' does cause the same error.
Accessing 'https://web.utsav2.dev/' does work.

Workaround
Disable redirect for reddit.

Opening a X.com link redirects to Nitter, but opening a Twitter.com link doesn't.

Here's my own Twitter profile for example: https://x.com/iitzRichie redirects to Nitter; however https://twitter.com/iitzRichie doesn't

https://github.com/migalmoreno/tubo but there aren't many public instances

Describe the bug

After installing Predirect, a page will open to make the user grant access to the "bad" platforms URLs, granting this permission works.

The problem is that... nothing happen after that, which is really bad UX.

The URL should say what should be done after that (eg: close the tab and go configure Predirect by clicking on its icon in your addons list), because right now the user has to guess that "everything is okay".

An alternative might by to just have all the permissions by default when installing the addon (if it's possible?) because what happen if you ever decide to add a service? Will the page to grant permission re-open?

To Reproduce
Install Predirect on a fresh browser

FreeTube works more reliably than most Invidious/Piped instances in my experience.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to set Predirect to redirect YouTube links to FreeTube by default. The Privacy Redirect extension handles this well.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried setting FreeTube as a custom instance in the extension settings (with freetube://https://youtube.com) but this did not work.

It's currently working but it's two step, backend redirects to youtube.com and then extension to invidious/piped

Smooth update management for new services/permissions added

• New services get enabled without bugs (like currently undefined)
• Extension doesn't have side effects on new host/permissions (like get disabled)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The instances will redirect to all frontends available for a service (so Invidious and Piped for YouTube), the user can't choose a specific frontend and is forced to either use both (if they want a random instance everytime) or specify an instance URL (which mean that it will always be this instance)

Describe the solution you'd like
The user should be able to choose a frontend,
