URLEZFX

A versatile task for Android's Tasker and an equivalent Shortcut for iOS designed to automatically modify URLs from various social media and video platforms to custom or alternative domains. This utility can be particularly useful for:

• Privacy: Redirecting links to privacy-focused alternatives.
• Content Access: Accessing content through different, possibly less restricted, domains.
• Testing: Checking how URLs behave with different domain names.

Features

• Input Prompt: Asks the user to input a URL.
• URL Modifications:
  • Converts Twitch clips to fxtwitch.seria.moe.
  • Replaces Twitter with twitterez.com.
  • Redirects Reddit to redditez.com.
  • Switches Instagram to instagramez.com.
  • Changes YouTube links to piped.video for ad-free viewing.
  • Alters TikTok URLs to tiktokez.com.
  • Transforms X (formerly Twitter) links to twitterez.com.
• Display: Shows the modified URL via a flash message on Tasker or through a notification/action sheet on iOS Shortcuts.
