Feature #1052
closedRedirection support for root domains

Description
Such as youtube.com to a piped instance, or reddit.com to any lemmy instance.
Or can just provide an interface for redirect list, so that we users add source and destination sites ourselves. Gaukler Faun already did this in FOSS Browser.

I don't think this issue is related to #502 at all, because it asks for entire link modification. This is a feature request to redirect root domains only. I believe this is necessary for privacy friendly website alternatives, such as reddit to redlib, etc.
Currently I'm using FOSS browser just for this feature. Gaukler Faun had this feature in the settings configuration. You can have it in side menu too.
Just root domain redirection is enough, because most privacy friendly alternatives retain URL paths. No need to overcomplicate this.
Here's the code from FOSS browser.

This is related to Feature #502: Create a user configurble URL modification because when it is implemented in Privacy Browser Android it will be implemented as part of #502. It will not be implemented as a separate feature because, with the limited amount of time I have for Privacy Browser development, it doesn't make sense to me to spend time implementing a feature in a way that will likely have to be discarded to implement it a second time.

I do understand you. But again, that's not called redirection. It's more of a URL modification, which is totally unusual and very niche. Most redirection services, such as libredirect, usually refer to redirecting just the root domains.
#502 sounds kinda unnecessary and a lot of work. This one is fairly easy/moderate to implement. And has lot of use cases too.
