Personally use this tool on a daily basis. YMMV wrt the frontends provided, but I use it as my daily driver to help me evade Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube’s tracking of everything I do.
Nice! Thanks for sharing
Its a nice stepping stone but long term its better tomigrated to fediverse alternatives
Oh 100%! And I love using fediverse where I can. Unfederated corporate owned garbage though unfortunately has a lot of important and useful information still.
Extensions are a huge security risk not to mention increases your chances of being fingerprinted
Only in some cases. This extension for example isn’t fingerprintable. You would need to control the site from where u open Reddit for example by clicking a link + control reddit to test if connect to this site. And even this is not a goo methode + common fingerprinting protections will prevent this.
Does it really matter if the extension is open source?
Yes, the fewer people I have to trust with my data the better.
