When you try to select a text on a page and click a "Search LibRedirect" on Google Chrome - it does not redirect to the frontend and shows error page. After an investigation and debug, I saw Chrome passes details.initiator = "null" for such requests. Handle this case in code and allow redirects.
A browser extension that redirects YouTube, Twitter, TikTok... requests to alternative privacy friendly frontends and backends.
