Will this impact the quality of searches in any way?

The extension will redirect you to more privacy searches.

Example instead of using youtube it'll redirect you to the invidious instance you choose.

Similarly, if you use Google search it'll redirect you to the search engine you selected.

In the use of the above extension to play YouTube videos please take note

1) It can play 4K YouTube videos
2) If YouTube video cannot be played like it throws up an error message below check the status of other invidious instances from the below link and change the instance. The invidious instances will change status from time-to-time
