minus-squaretestman@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 years agothis is not a web extension, this is a service that does the redirection for example, a link that uses Farside to redirect you to some Invidious instance: https://farside.link/invidious/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ anyone who clicks on this will get Rickrolled through an instance of Invidious. Not necessarily the same instance.

this is not a web extension, this is a service that does the redirection
for example, a link that uses Farside to redirect you to some Invidious instance:
https://farside.link/invidious/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
anyone who clicks on this will get Rickrolled through an instance of Invidious. Not necessarily the same instance.
Okay thanks I understand now :)
