Show HN: Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends

YouTube started blocking me because I use an adblocker. So I made this simple Firefox Add-On (haven't made it cross-browser yet, contributions welcome!) to open videos in alternative front-ends (piped.video by default).

Default keybinding: Alt+J to reopen current page in the configured frontend.

Shift+Click to open any video in a new tab in the configured frontend.

You can change the default frontend to something else if you like.
