LibRedirect really gives you a taste of what the web could have been like had it not developed under capitalism.
(Thanks to everyone who suggested it to me here. I really feel the difference when I’m on my iPhone and I’m like, wait, why did the web become shit all of a sudden?) :)

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •LibRedirect was great on Firefox. Unfortunately, the FF extension hasn't been updated since June 2022. Twitter redirect is no longer working, in the parameters it redirects to nitter.com (which doesn't exist) and a bug makes it impossible to set a custom nitter instance.
I had assumed development had stopped, but I now see that the Codeberg git repo is active. I wonder what's up with the FF extension. Will have to look into installing from source.
