After some internal discussion, we’ve concluded that this extension was accepted a bit too quickly and without sufficient vetting. As a result, we will be removing mentions of it.

One of the main issues is that the current redirect logic does not cover a number of YouTube paths, such as /podcasts, /gaming, /feed/subscriptions, /feed/library, /feed/you, /post/{id}, /hashtag/{hashtag}, and search pages under /results:

This approach is also more fragile, as it is inherently more vulnerable to YouTube introducing new paths or changing existing ones.

In contrast, LibRedirect simply forwards all YouTube URLs to FreeTube and lets FreeTube itself decide what it can handle and what it can’t, which is a more robust and future-proof approach:

https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension/blob/master/src/config.json#L136

That said, the extension could be reconsidered and vetted again in the future if these concerns are adequately addressed.

We apologize for the oversight and will be more careful with similar mentions going forward.

I understand the situation and, of course, I fully recognize the problem you are referring to.
Would it be possible for you to hold off on removing this from the documentation? Please give me a few days and I will implement this feature in the RedirectTube.
