.rss Feeds for Social Media
use alternative privacy-focused frontends: https://github.com/digitalblossom/alternative-frontends
I use nitter and proxigram to query RSS feeds.

Show HN: uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions
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.

Librewolf passes all the deep privacy tests. Is it the best Firefox fork?
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 ;) ).

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe
Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]
Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.
Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]
Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:
The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk
ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community
A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere
The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

I assume this is why Nitter got slammed and is on the verge of breaking.

Something peculiar in my 2yo's bedroom led me to a revelation about our universe
Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again
Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

Nitter.net Has Disappeared
njal.la restored nitter.net, and replied with their reasons: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...
tbh I can totally understand why they acted this way.
