privacy-redirect VS libreddit

There is an open-source browser extension called Privacy Redirect which will turn all Twitter links you click into Nitter links [0].

This also turns Reddit links into Libreddit/Teddit links, YouTube links into Invidious links, etc.

Basically you get to browse an Internet without intrusive pre-roll ads or outrage algorithms. I think based on your comment that this might be of interest to you.

Privacy Redirect

How does this compare to the similar Privacy Redirect? https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect

It might be a good idea to make it clearer this is a fork of the work done in https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect, and maybe add an explanation of the changes made upon that original project. Right now I could only see the minor credit link in the readme.

Best plugin/add on for chromium and FF browsers: privacy redirect from Simon Brazell via https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect or direct via stores/plugins.

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

This is a particular teddit instance shutting down, not teddit the software project.

Stuff is moving a lot currently and there is a bumpy road ahead, but there are several courses of action already being mapped out (scraping html, r-e the private gql api, a setting for operators to put some auth token, ..).

I still wonder if flashing elements and the constant nudging is worth it. I sometimes think I'm the only one but apparently there are about 15 % that are heavily annoyed by this. And those are users that you either lose completely or that block every unnecessary item on your website with ad blockers or reader mode.

I can't stand using Reddit on a mobile browser constantly asking if I want to install their app. Fortunately, there are alternative frontends such as Libreddit or teddit [2]. I hope they survive the API war.

There are also the libreddit and teddit projects that may manage to survive.

At least for the moment, one can still read (not login) r/rust using libreddit at https://r.nf/r/rust. I don't know it that will be affected by the API changes.

An other way, that also should work if old reddit is gone, is libreddit.

libreddit does use the official API so will be affected by the limits on 3rd party apps.

Alternative web based front-ends for Reddit might get shut down or affected to, see Libreddit's github issue on Reddit's API changes. Really sucks
