## Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The full documentation can be accessed online at https://docs.invidious.io/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The documentation's source code is available in this repository:

|
### Extensions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We highly recommend the use of [Privacy Redirect](https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect#get),
|
|
|
|
|
a browser extension that automatically redirects Youtube URLs to any Invidious instance and replaces
|
|
|
|
|
embedded youtube videos on other websites with invidious.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The documentation contains a list of browser extensions that we recommended to use along with Invidious.

|
