PeerTubeify Extension

PeerTubeify allows to redirect between YouTube and PeerTube and across PeerTube instances, automatically or by displaying a link.

If you choose to automatically redirect from YouTube to PeerTube, it uses Invidious (https://invidio.us/) to get the video information without making any requests to YouTube from your browser, for added privacy.

It uses PeerTube API v1 to search the network (you can choose the instance used for the search). For now, it simply searches for a video with the same title.

Don't forget to set your preferences :)

PeerTubeify is not affiliated with PeerTube.

Code and issues are hosted on GitLab.
