testman , (edited ) to selfhosted in Predirect: A manifest v3 web extension with minimal permissions to automatically redirect popular sites to privacy friendly frontends

so this is similar to LibRedirect?
github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
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:
raw.githubusercontent.com/…/data.json
Here is a list of instances that Farside.link uses:
raw.githubusercontent.com/…/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:
