About this extension
YouTube Embed Redirect sends YouTube watch and Shorts links straight to the privacy-friendly youtube-nocookie.com embed player, so you watch without the cluttered, tracking-heavy watch page.

Features:
• Auto-redirects youtube.com/watch and /shorts to the embed player
• Injects a Referer header so embeds load correctly (no error 152/153), including videos embedded on other sites
• Preserves timestamps (?t=)
• Privacy Mode toggle — switch between youtube-nocookie.com and youtube.com
• Click a video's title or the YouTube logo in the player to open its comments & likes page with the video player fully blocked — comment and like without loading the tracking player
• Enable/disable any time from the toolbar popup
