I made a very simple chrome extension that automatically redirects you to your preferred music service when visiting another service. In my case I have it set to YouTube Music, so if I click a Spotify (or other) link in Slack, I'll be redirected to YouTube Music.

Do you have a Firefox version of this?


No, sorry. The code should be pretty easy to port, if you want to give it a go.

Can I port it to FF?


From the parent comment: yes.


Is this not a perfect use-case for greasemonkey/tampermonkey? Browser independence FTW


Absolutely!


Orion supports FF and Chrome extensions, if you're in the market for a (good) Safari clone.


This type of stuff is what make chrome extension development fun


sounds amazing, how did you map the urls manually?

I guess this is a free service? E.g https://api.song.link/v1-alpha.1/links?url=https://open.spot...


Exactly! Their docs are here: https://linktree.notion.site/API-d0ebe08a5e304a55928405eb682...

It has a 10 request per minute rate limit, but no api key needed, so each user runs their own queries.
