While it's good to bring attention to the fact that Bibliogram is, effectively, an abandoned project, there are still a few instances running and reasons for people to use it over Instagram proper.

Unfortunately, out of the three instances recognized by Farside, one is a broken link. This instances (bibliogram.1d4.us) is also one of the two instances listed as a backup option with Farside disabled.

So I propose the following updates.

1. Disable Bibliogram Farside by default.

2. remove bibliogram.1d4.us from the default list, and replace it with bibliogram.froth.zone

3. Add the option to disable the "bibliograph is abandoned" warning (anyone who would willingly enable bibliogram is likely aware of the project's condition.

Fandom won't redirect. Furthermore, sites that should be redirected get this weird notification.

Here's the URL to see for yourself. https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Encyclopedia_SpongeBobia

Recently Twitter changed so you have to log in to view tweets.

If you open a profile without log in like
https://twitter.com/elonmusk

Twitter changes URL immediately to the login page
https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Felonmusk

And the redirect only changes the domain so it becomes like this
https://nitter.net/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Felonmusk
which obviously doesn't work.

When it should be
https://nitter.net/elonmusk

Could you fix this please?
Thanks.

Can you add SafeTwitch, a privacy-respecting Frontend for Twitch?

Hello! I'm in love with this script, as I find it works better than the Privacy Redirect extension.

However, I wish I could exclude YouTube from the redirection. Primarily because I use scripts for YouTube for screenshots, larger window, etc.

Would a setting like this be possible to implement? :)

Addons: Cookie AutoDelete, CSS Exfil Protection, Disqus Auto Expander, I don't care about cookies, Violentmonkey

Hello! When I click an Instagram link, I'm sent to a 404 page instead of the actual site. Example:
https://www.instagram.com/pewdiepie/
Takes me to
https://bibliogram.pussthecat.org/u/accounts/login/?next=/pewdiepie/

Is this a known issue? Or a conflict with something else?

It is well documented that Bibliogram is currently unmaintained and abandoned by the developer, however there are still some key instances running, albeit they only work for posts and reels (IE: actual content). You can't redirect users pages, nor can you search for pages.

Even so, basic redirections of posts and reels still work, but this script is currently hardwired to redirect every path to Instagram.

I propose altering the code so only posts/reels are redirected, at least until a new developer takes over Bibliogram, or a proper alternative surfaces.

Alternatively, this behavior could be a switch in the same vein as enabling Farside or individual sites.

Websites like NintendoLife (https://www.nintendolife.com/features/40-years-of-weird-and-wonderful-and-just-plain-wrong-super-mario-tv-commercials) often use the "NoCookie" domain for their YouTube domains instead of the usual embed domain.

At present, Privacy Redirector does not redirect these embeds to Piped or Invidious.

Proxigram is a new frontend for instagram

There are more instances of Libremdb using more paths and search options than before. This script still redirects only paths for movies/shows.

I've submitted a separate issue to Farside to update their instance list, and once it goes through you shouldn't have to worry about redirecting to outdated Libremdb instances again.

Hello, while news.ycombinator.com leads to hn.algolia.com, clicking on a link towards news.ycombinator.com at hn.algolia.com throws just back to hn.algolia.com instead of following the link

By default, most of the redirects (YouTube/Twitter specifically) use FarSide to ensure that they always redirect to the most readily available and stable instance, acting as a sort of wild card.

However, some instances have preferences I'm not a fan of, such as default languages or disabled features.

I would appreciate being able to set up a blacklist/whitelist of instances FarSide uses, if possible.

Alternatively, being able to disable FarSide for individual redirects and instead use a pool of pre-chosen instances like with Bibliogram or Proxitok would be welcome as well. It seems when Farside Support was added that this option was dropped for YouTube/Twitter in favor of FarSide. I think there's value in keeping it an option though, even though FarSide is clearly more efficient.

I’ve been using this script for months and it’s fantastic, but I did run into this small issue. When disabling Farside for Twitter, the Nitter instance’s URL that I’m redirected to always contains an encoded slash instead of the slash itself. For example:

https://nitter.d420.de/elonmusk%2Fmedia

Redirection is successful only if the URL I’m redirecting from doesn’t contain anything after a user’s Twitter handle, slashes and all.

(I’m using Violentmonkey 2.16.0 via Firefox 119.0.1)

For example, the following userscript by someone else redirects bing to searx:

• https://greasyfork.org/scripts/423346-bing-to-searx

So what about integrating something like that, but for not just Bing but also DuckDuckGo, Google, Yahoo, Yandex, etc?

LibRedirect currently have feature to redirect YouTube embeds into Invidious, and I would like to see feature to detect YouTube embeds into Invidious embeds instead.

Hi Arda! Thanks for making this script. I'm testing it out in Mull on Android, as a replacement for the UntrackMe app.

Since benbusby/farside@932f3bb in late Jan 2022, Farside has permitted links prefixed with /_/. These "redirect-preserving" links issue the redirect with a JS fragment, in a way that keeps the redirection page in the history. If an instance is down, or is testing falsely, a different instance can be chosen by pressing the browser's back button. I find it quite useful!

Please can you add a variable to append the /_ when farsideInstance is used? The same effect can be achieved by editing that variable, but it might be cleaner to do as a boolean.

It would be quite sensible as default behaviour, but that's up to you! :D

Tubo is an alternate YouTube frontend based on Newpipe, and as such can also proxi content from Soundcloud, Peertube, etc. A handy alternative imo.

Since the latest update, (google) captchas to prove that one is not human are only loaded after disabling this user script.

As the title says, any IMDb links simply opens IMDb

Intellectual is an alternate frontend to Genius that offers an alternative layout, including the option to see all the tracks from a single album.

There are some instances in the script that are dead, like alefvanoon.xyz and silkky.cloud for example (there may be more). It gets a little annoying that I have to type the link again whenever I get redirected to a dead instance.

Instead, use farside.link for redirects. It automatically checks for online instances and there is no need to hardcode a list of instances.

It would be nice if Privacy Redirector added a configuration page to allow customizing settings without them being reset on updates. GM_config could be used for this purpose.

Simple request. Just the option to redirect Youtube Music links to the same frontend used by the standard YouTube domains instead of a YouTube Music specific frontend.

Hello, when there is embed videos on some page, the video displays Piped page instead of embed videos. Can you look what happened?

Hi,
this script did not work in qutebrowser if the damain is already blocked in hosts file. I used to use Privacy Redirect in Brave browser and it works fine. Is there any chance to make it work without removing the domain from hosts file.

Please add this as well to the script for redirecting
