YT Siphon is a browser extension that allows users to manually redirect YouTube videos to alternative frontends. It gives users the power to decide where they want to open the videos using simple shortcuts. One key feature is Alt+J, which opens the current video in the chosen frontend. Another feature is Shift+Click, which allows users to open videos in the configured frontend in a new tab. The motivation behind this extension is YouTube’s crackdown on Ad Blocker usage. Users can install the extension from the Mozilla Add-Ons site or manually download it. The default alternative frontend can be customized, and credit is given to GPT-4, Phind, and DALL-E 3 for their contributions. The extension is licensed under MIT.
