Recent reviews
As it's no longer maintained, I don't use this extension for redirecting. However, I keep it around for one very helpful feature: clean Invidious link copying. For some reason, this feature is not mentioned in the about, but it has saved me so much time I would have spent editing the links manually. Thank you.
