I found the lightweight proxy <a href=https://requestly.io/ class=link--external target=_blank rel=noreferrer>requestly</a>, which can be used to modify http requests in my browser. I created the following rules:</p><p><img src=requestly-rules.png alt=requestly></p><p>Now the link <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lz30by8-sU" class=link--external target=_blank rel=noreferrer>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lz30by8-sU</a> will redirect to <a href="http://invidious:3000/watch?v=-lz30by8-sU" class=link--external target=_blank rel=noreferrer>http://invidious:3000/watch?v=-lz30by8-sU</a></p><p>I&rsquo;m still looking for ways to improve this invidious setup.
