Seems like there's a bit of confusion about what the add-on does exactly. It doesn't automatically redirect all YouTube pages you open.

This however gives you the choice to open the pages you want in an alternative frontend.

My use case is basically I browse the YT homepage and Shift+click the videos I want to watch. Or if someone shares a link to a video, I access that page and Alt+J to redirect to the alternative frontend.

Thanks for explaining, but what is an alternative frontend in this case?

I've also just updated the README to make it more obvious what the extension does.

The default alternative frontend I have configured is https://piped.video , but you can use any different instance / service if it supports the same YouTube url scheme ({domain}/watch?v=...).

This is configurable in the add-on's options page, you can also access it by clicking on the add-on's icon
