   @migtorr Hello! An extension like libredirect is the best solution that I know of. By using the "auto pick instance" button, it automatically gets an instance from our updated list (here: https://docs.invidious.io/instances/) and if you end up on a broken one, the extension menu has a shortcut to remove it from your list.
