About Proxy Redirect
Proxy Redirect is a userscript hosted on OpenUserJS. It redirects and rewrites links to privacy-oriented proxy frontends, which are alternative front-ends for services such as YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, and Wikipedia. According to its description, it gives reliable access to available public instances for each service and spreads traffic across those instances to reduce bottlenecks and rate-limiting. The script depends on third-party public instances that it does not operate, and the source notes that Invidious may be in danger. The site notice states that continued use of OpenUserJS means agreeing to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
