Apple has decided to remove Progressive web apps from iOS in EU. If you have a business in the EU or serve EU users via Web App/PWA, we must hear from you in the next 48 hours!
It supports both links and embeds and is available on firefox for android. List of sites is on github. I’m the main developer so you can ask questions.
Libredirect is a manifest v2 extension (can’t be published on chrome store) and has permissions for all_urls, predirect is a manifest v3 extension and only has permissions for necessary domains
There is an onboarding step for permissions in firefox version(due to more restrictions in manifest v3 than even chrome),so you need to grant permissions, unstyled UI is intended but I will add style with a minimal ui css framework in near future
Firefox is stricter than chrome in manifest v3 that it provides no way to request host permissions at install time, there is a onboarding page after installation of addon where you can grant permissions to hosts
No, both manifest v2 and v3, but in earlier versions add-ons had to be vetted by reviewers or manually added to their account collections by users, but from v121,all extensions marked by their devs as compatible are available to everyone blog.mozilla.org/…/open-extensions-on-firefox-for…
Yes, Predirect currently chooses randomly from list of instances from farside/official(I’ll make it updatable/refreshable in near future) or one custom instance (I’ll also add editing list of custom instances in far future) [ofc if chrome store allows these two]. I didn’t add libredirect/reddit due to ratelimiting problems and GotHub, anonymous overflow due to usability issues. I’ll add search, maps in near future and also others. Predirect does distribute traffic by randomising instances so not an issue. Thanks for suggestions and contributions are welcome for any of these

No, yes, It depends- for my simple use case of redirecting embeds and links, it is probably faster by using declarativenetapi instead of heavier webrequestblocking api
It has a reasonable default of reliable privacy frontends but I may add an onboarding step(already in firefox due to more restrictions in their manifest v3 than chrome) for selecting sites
