[Feature Request] Automatic Setup and Improved User Experience #920
Comments
1. Almost no one enables all of redirectionsFirst of all. Users should choose themselves what alternative frontend to use. Do I even need to remind that YouTube has about 10 alternative frontends? Secondly, not all users wanna use redirections for all services:
And finally. Let's find some services, which are.. Let's say, they have specific audience and use cases. It's not that they are useless, I use one of them sometimes and will use it. Just.. Not for normal users
I think installation could be simplified, but not by this 2. Ok, butPrettifying and simplifying instances could be nice, but how exactly browser extension can get server load of specific instance? For example, farside can do sth like that, because it's hosted gateway that redistributes redirections between users 3. Close to impossible

This was implemented by us before. We called it Unify Settings, but it had a ton of problems: whitepaper.md |
All of this are like, we need to create the extension to a saturation point, which will be like greet the user. If the user wants everything automated, we set it up for them. If not, we make them to choose everything. |
I wish I could recommend the libredirect browser extension to more people, but for that to happen, it needs to provide a more user-friendly experience out of the box. The current setup process and the need for manual configuration can be a barrier for some users. To make libredirect more accessible and widely adoptable, I would like to suggest the following improvements:
1. Enable Redirection by Default
By default, the extension should have redirection enabled for all supported services. This would provide users with the benefits of libredirect immediately, without the need for them to navigate through complex settings or enable each service individually.
2. Automatic Instance Selection
The extension should automatically select the best-performing instances for each service, based on factors such as ping time. This would ensure that users always have a smooth and reliable experience, without the need to manually choose instances.
3. Sync Configuration Across Instances
Automatically export/import configuration across instances to ensure a consistent experience.
