list of privacy respecting/alternative front-end things i would recommend

in the modern world, there's things like youtube, reddit, twitter, instagram, etc.

you may have concerns over your privacy even though the only thing you do is read text, watch videos, or look at pictures and you don't even have an account. and well, yeah, it would still be reasonable to assume that without an account, the services can still track you.

so, you may want to use an alternative front end. but

note: web software (like nitter) do not link to instances, but source code. you will need to find instances on your own.

instagram: bibliogram

note: bibliogram has been discontinued

twitter: nitter

youtube desktop (or any web browser): invidious

youtube, (not official) native android app: newpipe

youtube android with sponsorblock: newpipe with sponsorblock & return youtube dislike fork

newpipe with sponsorblock will be renamed later

ios: uYou+ (like vanced: modified vanilla youtube app, may not be more privacy friendly but has features)

reddit: teddit

wikipedia: wikiless

(reasons to use wikiless)

redirector extension

another redirecting extension: libredirect

i have used all except bibliogram and wikiless. otherwise, looks pretty good to me.

well, this was mostly short (or long if i extend this). i hope this was helpful, and goodbye.
