I’m not familiar with yewtu.be, but couldn’t you accomplish the the same thing with a simple Host File entry in your operating system? Get the IP of yewtu.be (by pinging it which I just did to get 104.244.72.25), create an entry that says:

youtube.com 104.244.72.25

So when your OS goes to find youtube.com, it gets directed to the IP of yewtu.be

No, the browser would still send YouTube.com as the host header. While yewtu.be could be configured to allow this to work, the TLS cert would not and the browser would get upset.

Your browser doesn’t check SSL certificates?
