You can install an open source plugin called LibRedirect. It automatically redirects some sites to alternative open source frontends including * YouTube → Piped, Invidious, FreeTube, Yattee * Twitter → Nitter * Instagram → Bibliogram * TikTok → ProxiTok * Reddit → LibReddit, Teddit And others. You can also disable redirects if you don't want one of them. (For instance I found the Wikipedia redirects to load awfully slow and I have basic trust Wikipedia)
