It looks like it will require a manual review process for now but it could be automated down the line.

so this is similar to LibRedirect?
https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
https://libredirect.github.io/
check out this list of privacy frontends and see if you can implement any of them in Predirect

Also, I see that you only handle one instance for redirect. Either the default instance or custom instance.
Consider implementing multiple instances. Here is list of instances that LibRedirect uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libredirect/instances/main/data.json
Here is a list of instances that Farside.link uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benbusby/farside/master/services-full.json

Both LibRedirect and Farside still have to deal with the rate-limiting problem with Youtube and Reddit and I assume other sites as well. Invidious instance or Teddit instance can be rate-limited, resulting in video not playing or post not showing up.
If your extension does not distribute user traffic across multiple instances, then I assume that your chosen instances will get hammered into ratelimit even faster than other instances.
So consider thinking about solution for this.
One of suggestions that I like is to allow user to provide an URL to a list of instances.
That way, someone or some automated system can periodically compose a list of instances and users can "subscribe" to that list.

Also some useful links:

Check if whatever is left of Mycroft AI has anything useful for you.

It worked fine for me when I opened it
Does it crash your browser every time? As in, it's a reproducable issue?

my dudes, I am dissapoint

but ok, yes, for actual remote desktop, VNC or RustDesk, despite RustDesk being some open-core implementation that holds the good stuff in the proprietary release. At least it was when I last checked it out.

SmartDock seems to be it's spiritual successor

Is there any collection of such inspirational / wisdom quotes?
If not, then one should be started.
And this quote should be added to it.

I expected the classic "be the change that you wabt to see in the world", but despite being similar, this one is very good as well.
