UserScript to always proxy video

Download ViolentMonkey for your Browser: Firefox Chrome and Chromium Others

Than add the following script in ViolentMonkey. It will always add &local=true to the end of the video URL.

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Invidious Proxy automatically
// @match       *://*.redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=*
// @run-at      document-start
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==


if (!(/[?&]local=/).test(location.search) && !(/[?&]quality=dash/).test(location.search)) {
  location.search += (location.search ? "&" : "?") + "local=true";
}

You can also enable this by checking Proxy videos? in your preferences.
