    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.
