Privacy frontends for popular services (yt, reddit, twitter, fb, insta, etc)

[libert19]

I recently deleted Twitter account and later Reddit, both were not allowing to browse in peace without having an account, so went on to find alternative frontends and came across this gem. You might find it helpful.

Thanks, I'll give you more merits as they become available >> Bookmarked
I'm starting to get frustrated with Twitter trying to force users to log in, it was fine a few weeks ago so the list provides me with a good choice. >> https://nitter.net/

If there is an alternative to quora it will be good.
One of the advantages of the forum is that it does not require you to log in.

I read somewhere that is enough to block Quora cookies in browser settings. Then quora can't follow your read history therefore, they will not even ask for sign-in after a reading certain number of posts. I did not try this method so I can't confirm, somehow that the service doesn't suit me.

Well, I registered (here on Bitcointalk) because I thought I would have full access to the forum and I've been here for 8 years

Thanks for sharing, i didn't know there are so many alternate front-end for those services. I'd like to mention some of those service accept Bitcoin as donation option (such as nitter), in case someone think this thread is off-topic on this board.

Actually you just need to add ?share=1 to the URL, so you can read the page without login or register.

I actually use the bolded for years for research and to monitor things without logging in but I stopped using it completely recently due to the requirement to login and for other reasons. I hope the nitter isn't too dependent on the bolded though.

Those who control the bolded failed to realize that their are very few users they are too dependent on. If they stop visiting, it could fold up completely or the stock will become worthless. It needs them and their blessings not the other way around.

I'm curious why not use 'Twitter' name directly!?

Well, it's 'Twitter' client.

Quick Google search tells me, it has 200M daily active users, it's not few. Rather, there would be few who would cancel the Twitter tab when it asks for login/signup, most would prefer to sign up, I've been there. They gain more users this way, that's why such algorithms are in place.

Actually it works with just, '? ' at end of url.

I just tested it and it works, it's more convenient than typing "?share=1". Quora link from search engine result or online discussion always has "?share=1" at the end of the link.

Was looking at github page and there is quora alternative now available.

quetre.pussthecat.org (one of instance)

Suppose the quora link is: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that...

Then you can edit it to: https://quetre.pussthecat.org/Is-it-true-that...

Use libredirect/redirector to make it automatic.

Redirector pattern:

Code:

Description: Quora to Quetre

Example URL: https://www.quora.com/What-is-Linux-4?share=1

Include pattern: https?:\/\/(www\.)?quora\.com\/([^\?]*)

Redirect to: https://quetre.pussthecat.org/$2

Pattern type: Regular Expression

Pattern description: redirects all Quora urls(excluding language-specific and spaces) to Quetre
