alternative-frontends VS Piped

use alternative privacy-focused frontends: https://github.com/digitalblossom/alternative-frontends

I use nitter and proxigram to query RSS feeds.

I use something similar to this, the only differences are because my use case is privacy protection and avoiding algorithmic feeds. I use the Redirector extension for Firefox so that it redirects e.g. Youtube, Twitter, and StackOverflow links to the corresponding alternative frontends Piped, Nitter, and AnonymousOverflow. You can find maintained lists [1] [2] of such projects and their instances. Mostly they are FOSS and privacy-respecting, and they have distraction-free frontends because it's a helpful coincidence of being ethical software.

There are front end alternatives for major sites if you really need that btw. I use from time time to time Invidious when I want t o see a YT video for example. As for sites that require tracking cookies to work I simply stopped using them. If a given site requires the use of intrusive "necessary" cookies I just stop using it. I'm convinced is about priorities. If you quit a browser that is safe because is slow, well, you need to re-estate your priorities imho (not you, op, anyone ;) ).

I found now that Piped includes duration in the RSS so might script around that. Wonder if Invidious could add that metadata too.

it requires either public or private Piped or Invidious instaces [1].

For Safari (macOS or iOS/iPadOS) you could look into extensions like Vinegar or StopTheMadness, although you’ll likely need to work out if they’ll conflict with your other extensions. Failing that, an Invidious or Piped instance is likely your best bet.

Sometimes a half-solution will do, like Invidious or Piped.

Try deleting all cache and cookies and update all filters from ublock origin, otherwise we need to wait for an update. You can use Piped in the meantime.
