rose VS alternative-frontends

rose - Minimal browser based on webkit2gtk

Nope, but use rose: (in particular this version: )).

Recently I've been playing with Rose, which is a small GTK+Webkit project that I've found really nice to hack on [1]. Src: <https://github.com/mini-rose/rose>

[1]. And I'm in fact typing this from within it.

- rose: I use void and It's imposible to build this one outside of Arch because that's the only distro that provides the webkit2gtk-5.0 package, I hope one day I can try this but I'm not going to distrohope just because of the browser.

I saw rose recently, don't know how it performs, but it's definitely minimalistic.

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 ;) ).
