I love that #icecat now ships with privacy redirects to #invidious (privacy-preserving youtube front-end), #nitter (same but for twitter), #openMaps, #simplytranslate (instead of #google maps & translate), #wikiless (instead of #wikipedia), and more now.

It's fast. I usually don't even notice I'm on a proxy site, except when I watch entire Youtube playlists without seeing a single ad. This is a big improvement not just to icecat's set of features, but also it's approach to encouraging non-compliance with the biometric surveillance industry. I used to essentially turn icecat back into firefox by disabling most of its features to ensure no websites get broken (so that I can use picture-in-picture on #guix), but now I'm getting way less broken websites and more alternative front ends to predatory websites that I'm going to visit for discourse regardless.

Also hot tip, if you watch videos on invidious instead of youtube, it will actually recommend helpful videos to you, because rather than suggesting intellectual dark web videos for years to no avail, you get stuff like "The Nanopass Framework As a Nanopass Compiler", "#Lean meets #compilers", or whatever you're into, no matter how obscure, stuff you would have had to skim through completely unrelated Lex Friedman suggested content to find otherwise.

Hora de ponerse las pilas y desplegar las instancias y front-ends que me faltan

#uBlockOrigin bloqueo publicidad
#CanvasBlocker bloqueo formas de identificacion a traves de codigo canvas
#Chameleon ♥ es mi favorito, ya que hace spoofing via el cambio aleatorio del agente del navegador para que c/web reciba informacion diferente cada X-minutos, cuando las visito
#PrivacyRedirect para redireccionar las URLs de #googlemaps a #openstreetmap; de #youtube a #invidious; de #twitter a #nitter; de #instagram a #bibliogram; de #wikipedia a #wikiless (este ultimo es el que mas me gusta)
#WebArchives para ver URLs que han desaparecido o cerrado
#PrivateBookmarks para guardar los marcadores bajo 7 llaves XD

Lo de clearURLs me parece muy interesante, lo voy a probar... gracias

@futureisfoss
Good point.
a few reasons why wikiless is better than wikipedia :

  • annoying, persistent, and recurring reminders to donate
  • use of Javascript
  • censorship of wikipedia in some regions
  • wikipedia can get your ip address
  • wikimedia analytics

some of these are addressed in Wikiless' git page linked here: codeberg.org/orenom/Wikiless#w

We might need some advice from knowledge users about GDPR for #UntrackMe using #Wikiless.

What's the best way to act for you about this pertinent remark on our git. Thank you for your feedback.

En dispositivos #android uso #NewPipe y #UntrackMe.
NewPipe me ayuda a ver videos de YT sin publicidad y con la capacidad de descarga
UntrackMe me ayuda a evitar entrar a enlaces que dirigen a Tuiter + Caralibro + YT + Kilogramo y re-envia a #Nitter + #Invidious + #Bibliogram

En #Firefox uso #PrivacyRedirect (la misma funcion que UntrackMe) que redirige tambien a #wikiless en caso de wikipedia, #OpenStreetMap en vez de GMaps, #teddit en vez de Reddit, #searx en vez de G* y tiene una funciona de traduccion alternativa a GTraductor...

Was ist #Wikiless, wieso öffnet #Firefox auf #Android #Wikipedia Links, wie kann ich das ausschalten und wieso lande ich da immer auf der Startseite von Wikiless und nicht auf dem Artikel den ich öffnen wollte?

@crossgolf_rebel @dr0i
Wikiless ist ein Proxy für Wikipedia, so wie es für Youtube und für Twitter gibt.

Ich weiß nicht, wie du dahin gekommen bist, aber schau dir das Logo (den Puzzleball) oben links an: da steht eindeutig Wikiless.

Das auf dem Screenshot sind zwar Inhalte aus der Wikipedia, aber das ist nicht Wikipedia.org, sondern Wikiless.org, wo (natürlich) der Anmeldelink fehlt.

#Wikiless is a free open source alternative Wikipedia front-end focused on privacy.
