PeerTubeify: Replace YouTube Videos with PeerTube

A browser extension that replaces YouTube videos with PeerTube videos when available, driving traffic to a decentralized and open-source alternative to YouTube.

What is PeerTubeify?

PeerTubeify is a browser extension available for Firefox and Chrome that replaces YouTube videos with PeerTube videos when there is a PeerTube version available. PeerTube is an open-source, decentralized alternative to YouTube that focuses on privacy, transparency, and giving control back to users.

When you visit a YouTube page with the PeerTubeify extension installed, it will automatically check if there is a PeerTube version of that video available. If there is, the YouTube video will be replaced by the PeerTube version seamlessly in your browser.

By redirecting views to PeerTube instead of YouTube, PeerTubeify helps drive more traffic and awareness to PeerTube. This supports the PeerTube platform and further establishes it as a viable alternative to closed, centralized platforms like YouTube that engage in questionable data practices and only serve to benefit themselves.

In addition to redirecting YouTube videos, PeerTubeify shows handy stats on how much bandwidth and storage a creator is using on PeerTube. This allows viewers to reward creators who publish videos in a more ethical, decentralized way.

Overall, if you want to easily switch from YouTube to PeerTube when available and help support open-source video platforms, PeerTubeify is a simple browser extension to do that.
