    Only problem I faced was that there were a lot of predefined instances that were not functional and “update instances” button did not filter them out. Apart from that it has been pretty neat.

    Does it support Piped? I’m using Privacy Redirect and I’m missing that.

    I would like something like this that selects the instance with the best latency.

      It does support Piped. However, LibRedirect uses random instance every redirect. LibRedirect does not sort instances by latency, as far as I know. You can customize the list of used instances with the ones with good latency, though.

    I’m currently using privacy redirect for FF. I see libredirect redirecting more stuff than privacy redirect, but most stuff I don’t follow any ways… What benefits would it bring using one over the other?

    Thanks !
