Hi, thanks for mods! You can add this code to settings for a drop down of instance api?

There is no "official registry of Invidious instances". Where would we take such a list from? It would have to be updated, etc. I don't think it's a good idea.

list of invidious instances https://instances.invidio.us

Would you please stop closing this @staycanuca?

Given that the preselected invidio.us site is now dead, it would be very nice if the plugin both changed its default and provided a list of the well known sites to choose from.

Since there is an API over at https://api.invidious.io/, implementing this shouldn't be a big deal. Contributions welcome.

as there is a public list of invidious instances, i would suggest something similar as the browser addon Privacy Redirect already does: rather use a random instance for every request of a list of instances (perhaps allow to edit it manually or even crate a blacklist), as this would make it pretty invulnerable against outages and even helps with load balancing.
