  • Redirector

    Browser extension (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge) to redirect urls based on regex patterns, like a client side mod_rewrite.

  • https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector - I prefer it over Libredirect too as it can replace other Addons. Alternative frontends is not a surprising development, as the "web today" has gotten quite user hostile.

    Last I checked it hasn't got a list of rules to be imported to get you started, here are mine - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sFBptpgGRX/

  • S.S.Octopus

    sso, aka S.S.Octopus, aka octoboi, is a single sign-on solution for securing internal services

  • In addition to this suggestion, another viable route is to self-host those applications you rely on and don't expose them to the world (so as to reduce load/attack surface). Using a VPN can allow you to access the applications privately/remotely.

    e.g. I self-host the applications I rely on such as Teddit, Nitter, Bibliogram and Cloudtube and then use Wireguard to always remain connected to the network they are accessible on. I have also implemented identity-aware SSO[1] so I can expose those applications remotely to specific individuals.
