[REQUEST] More frontends

[darlopvil]

Librarian for Odysee:
https://librarian.pussthecat.org/
https://lbry.vern.cc/

LibreY as a meta search engine:
https://librey.baczek.me/instances.php

Lingva as a translator service:
https://github.com/thedaviddelta/lingva-translate#instances

Many other instances from already frontends don't appear in the extension config page. 4get as an example. Here you can have a daily list of all them updated:

As always, thank you for your hard work 🤝

P.S.: https://libretranslate.com/ as an instance for LibreTranslate (it isn't in the list)

Lingva was removed from LibRedirect for being unmaintained. Discussion in #835

Actually, same for Librarian

So.. For LibreY. Actually it's fork of LibreX

LibreY instances are listed in json file with "librey": true

• JSON File: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ahwxorg/LibreY/main/instances.json

Being unmaintained means redirection doesn't work? If not, I don't know why isn't implemented, just as long as it works for its purpose (redirection).

For Libre X: Well, I thought that by selecting 'LibreX' among the various search engines, only instances of LibreX would appear. However, I've noticed that it's not the case; it's a mix of instances of LibreX and LibreY. I find it a bit chaotic and disorganized. Wouldn't it be better to separate them as if they were different browsers?

We won't add unmaintained frontends for security and usability reasons. If you want to use a custom frontend that has been removed or not yet supported, then use Redirector.

As I said, discussion about Lingva in #835. Please read reasoning there

#835 (comment)

[darlopvil]

My apologies, didn't know the policy behind whether to implement a frontend. I'll take Redirector then and give it a try.

Thanks for the support and quick responses @ManeraKai @NoPlagiarism

I have a thought, could we list out the rules somewhere for users to reference for Redirector for frontends that Libredirect no longer supports.

@toyboatcash Please open a separate issue about this.
