ublock-origin-filters VS alternative-frontends

```

I already use this rule in uBlock Origin. I wish other apps had those, it would make my filters[0] a lot simpler.

Having a setting to disable feed in the settings, or making it show some stats, books read this year, progress bar on goals it more fitting for me as I don't want a feed.

> Any thoughts on that kind of approach to start? Or are you much more curious about the Rails side?

I never had a big open source project of my own, my suggestion is: It does not have to be perfect, nor having an amazing contribute guide. Not even a readme or a license. You can start adding those slowly.

Ideally some time after open source it, from my point of view, I like having a one liner or couple of commands to run the project. That way I can pull, make some changes and test those changes. Then when I open a PR I can get extra insights from the maintainers. Be it a Nix flakes file, a shell.nix file, a docker-compose, or docker container, even a shell script.

These with generated ids and classes might be hard to maintain. If you like to change those to the classes/ids that are human readable and easy to maintain, and comment them, feel free to contribute them here: https://github.com/mig4ng/ublock-origin-filters/pull/4

Thanks for sharing.

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 ;) ).
