Title. I really like using the YouTube home page to find new content I'm not subscribed to since trending is hot garbage. I'd love to use the home page like I used to but have my browser redirect to piped after I click a video. Anyone have a solution?

So I tried that, seems like a nice add-on, but it doesn't seem to work when I click the videos on the homepage. If I then refresh the page with the video it'll redirect though. Am I doing something wrong or does this have to do with how YouTube is sending me to the video?

Do you not middle-click the videos to open in a new tab? Because it's possible that YouTube is re-writing the page dynamically instead of actually sending you over to a new URL.

Not usually, but that's a habit I could form I suppose, if that's the only answer
