Tx.Taxi an alternative to Mempool.space

I was going through a discussion on the forum   Is mempool.space down? I can't access the site and came across this vital information I need to pass across to us, some might have been used to this already while it's could actually be the first time some members may be hearing of this.

Just as the title suggest, we don't have to depend fully on https://mempool.space/ any longer, we can alternatively use https://tx.taxi/ and this can be what we can have in serving the same purpose as mempool.

I got to discover this as of earlier said on the service discussion board when a member couldn't access mempool.space and this was suggested to be used, I think he's region (country) was not going through as at that time, while an alternative site was recommended, in case anyone may also face future challenges from using mempool.space, you can as well consider tx.taxi alternatively.

I have repeatedly experience same situation with https://mempool.space/ for quite some time now, it’s a reoccurring problem but usually when it happens I do use VPN to actually access the site. To be more specific I prefer to use VPN most of the time while accessing block explorer sites or even when making bitcoin transactions while connected to public nodes this is my preferred method for privacy, with this I don’t get to expose my IP or get it attached to the transaction ID i check, with all this new explorers I do think it’s important to do it too because you don’t know what happens at the backend of this sites.

Below are list of known blockchain explorers

https://mempool.space/ is almost unusable on my devices since some time ago. Even if I use VPN, it is not working. Also if I switch the VPN to another location, it is not working. But I am not using the site like before since many months ago. I am using https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,24h,weight which I have also posted about on this board.
