Privacy Redirect

Everything is hardcoded, and it’s abandoned. Useless

This works perfectly as intended. However, I lots of the instances are outdated and I can’t figure out how to add custom ones. In the app’s instance settings, there are only options to change from the provided preconfigured instances. Neither can I find anywhere to add custom instances in Settings>Apps>Safari>Extensions>PrivacyRedirect.

I have my own setting for the Reddit re-direct and it only works some of the time. Other times it just stays on reddits website instead of performing the re-direct. Hopefully it can be updated?

Works great. Simple and easy to use. Just turn on permissions for the sites you want to replace and presto. It’s nice having a developer stay on top of updating redirects. 👍

Just bought this recently and I’m on the latest iPhone 15 pro max and latest beta os. This doesn’t seem to work anymore.

The app is OK, but it doesn't include wikiless.

I love browser Addons like privacy redirect and libredirect on desktop browsers and don’t mind paying for it on iOS to support a developer extending a fork to iOS. I would ask, however, for custom instance domain support to be added. For example, in libredirect (and even privacy redirect I believe) on Firefox I can add any instance or domain I want, including redirect.invidious.io for invidious or simply another redirect service to get online instances automatically. Why this feature is great (and needed with FOSS apps like this imo) is because public instances often go offline or are abandoned by their owners, because the FOSS side of the internet is constantly changing. So please add this feature and make this the best privacy addon on the iOS App Store! Again, thanks for bringing this to iOS. And thanks for taking the time to read this review.

The redirect works great, but there doesn’t seem to be an option to allow all websites in Safari extension settings. I have to go through manually and enable each site. It doesn’t actually seem to prevent redirects, though, so it isn’t a big deal.

I've been looking for an app like this for a while, and this one is *almost* really awesome. My issue is that it briefly navigates to the non-private site before redirecting to the more-private alternative. An example is going to google.com. If I search for something on google.com, the browser will in fact navigate to google.com for 0.25 seconds before redirecting to duckduckgo.com. Since one of the ideas behind these private alternatives is to remain unknown to non-private sites, this app fails on that count. google.com's servers do record a web request from my mobile browser, from my IP address, and with my search terms. I'd chock this up to a technical limitation, but the "Neeva" app intercepts search requests and redirects them to its own site, without first navigating to the default search engine. So it seems like this is a fix-able issue that the app developer could work on.

Great extension! I use it mostly to redirect YouTube links. And the cool thing is you can use a Piped instance, if you prefer it instead of Invidious!
