Alternate Tube Redirector

Privacy Redirect looks very nice. I like how it even handles Twitter
and Instagram. I've been having to open those in an unmodified Firefox.
Half the time, I don't even use Abrowser anymore. I hate the Web.

I noticed Privacy Redirect has the option to proxy all videos through
Invidious. Would such a feature make the following user script redundant?

// ==UserScript==
// @name Youtube to Invidious
// @version 20190114
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

var tags = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
for(var i = 0; i < tags.length; i++) {
attributes = tags[i].attributes;
for(var j = 0; j < attributes.length; j++) {
attribute = attributes[j];
attribute.value =
attribute.value.replace(/^https?:\/\/([^/]+[.])?youtu([.]be|be[.][^/]+)/, "https://invidio.us");
}
}

That looks pretty cool. I always just did that thing where you take the unique digits from the youtube url and put them in an invidio.us url. Like a youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktNWD8XyCeo, I make the invidio.us url https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=ktNWD8XyCeo

Looks like the extension would save me time. Pretty cool. I don't click on instagram or twitter links, and look up my own map stuff.

Thanks for this nice add-on! Do you know any add-on that can remove
tracking parameters(e.g., utm? etc.) from links?

I remember somebody has told me once but I forgot.
