Okay, what I was trying to do with Redirector is have it so I can search and browse videos on YouTube, but when I click on something that I want to watch, it forwards me to the same video on YewTu.be instead.

If you don't open videos you want to watch in a new tab, you also have to go to Advanced Options in your rule and tick "HistoryState" else it will bypass the redirect.
