I can't make it work #35

Closed narFnarF closed 2 years ago

narFnarF commented 2 years ago

I can't make it work. It never redirects. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong but I can't find what.

narFnarF commented 2 years ago

If I visit a website with an embedded YouTube video, it isn't redirected.

If I click to open this video on YouTube, it's not redirected either.

I tried visiting a Twitter profile: no redirect.

I'm using Safari of course.

And in the Privacy Redirect app, I activated all options.

You're going to have to allow Privacy Redirect to access the sites you're visiting for redirects to work. The first time you visit a site like Twitter, you'll need to click on the Aa menu and then Privacy Redirect and give it permission to act on all sites.

Any updates?

FIGBERT commented 2 years ago

Closing due to lack of response.

narFnarF commented 2 years ago

The problem was that the extension was not visible in the Aa menu, because I have other extensions installed and Safari doesn't make it clear that we can scroll in this menu.

Hopefully this information can help others in the future.

narFnarF commented 2 years ago

That being said, even after activating it (and selecting "always" and "all websites", it still doesn't redirect YouTube or Twitter...

May be related to #31, we're investigating.
