If you use the Firefox browser – or a privacy-respecting Firefox fork, like LibreWolf (librewolf.net/) – take a look at the LibRedirect extension (libredirect.github.io/). It automatically redirects links/embeds of surveillance capitalists like Google (YouTube, etc.), Instragram, Twitter, Reddit, etc. to community-run instances that remove tracking, etc.

LibreWolf Browser

A custom version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom.

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?) :)

Have you tried the LibRedirect browser add-on?

It automatically redirects you to FOSS, privacy-focused Alternative Front-ends of big-tech sites/non private platforms.

There are alternative front-ends to YouTube, Twitter, Medium, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, etc.

Each of these sites has a list of Alternative Front-ends' servers which you can select for the service to redirect to. You can also add Custom Instances.

So, when you click on a YouTube link, say youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXc… it automatically redirects you to invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=… for example.

Do check it out, it's fun and has a lot of interesting sections in it.
