You can use this [0] browser plugin to automatically redirect to Nitter. You can also choose which instance to redirect to, or to choose an instance randomly every time (for load balancing). Also supports:

YouTube -> Invidio.us

Instagram -> Bibliogram

Google Maps -> OpenStreetMap

reddit.com -> old.reddit.com or i.reddit.com

Open Street Map is not a replacement for Google Maps. Not even close. It's a different product with overlapping features. As a detailed map, it's vastly superior. As a way to find locations and information about them, it's not nearly as good.

The plugin lets you choose between 12 alternatives, or choose randomly every time.

AFAIK the extension HTTPS Everywhere can do this too, but its UI for doing this is kind of haphazard.
