Firefox privacy, security and anti-tracking: a comprehensive user.js template for configuration and hardening
Project mention: Customization for Firefox to improve privacy | reddit.com/r/PrivacyGuides | 2022-05-22Arkenfox settings https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js and and the extensions it recommends, don't try to flip switches on Firefox without knowing what you are doing, or using random comments saying do "this or that" without any explanation of why, because you can do more harm than good, a this point just use the settings and extension recommend of PG https://www.privacyguides.org/browsers/#recommended-configuration that it will be better than any random config, or use LibreWolf https://librewolf.net/ that is a fork of firefox with the settings based on Arkenfox, but it's a fork in the end of the day, so it caveats.

analytics
Lightweight analytics abstraction layer for tracking page views, custom events, & identifying visitors (by DavidWells)
Project mention: What is a C# API library that allows you to swap out analytic software as needed? | reddit.com/r/Frontend | 2021-08-03I hope this is the right place to ask this question because I feel this problem falls somewhere between the front and backend. Quick setup, I am the companies UX/UI Designer but I have knowledge of frontend development. My company is a small start-up of 12 people, mostly backend engineers. My coworkers have given me the task to find a C# API library that allows us to gather analytic data, but we can hot-swap analytic software without having to rewrite any code in between. The best example of what we are looking for is something like getanalytics.io but in C#. Thoughts?

privacy-redirect
A simple web extension that redirects Twitter, YouTube, Instagram & Google Maps requests to privacy friendly alternatives.
If you want just to browse reddit then you can do that through teddit or libreddit front-end instances. And with extensions like Privacy Redirect [1] you can do it automatically.
There are also front-ends for twitter and instagram but these seem to be most faulty - sometimes it takes a while to reach a stable instance and extension tends to overwrite manually selected instances.

MEGA's webclient code is somewhere in here but their API is very opaque and unfriendly to third-party implementations, which is the main red flag that stands out to me about their service.
