Personally use this tool on a daily basis. YMMV wrt the frontends provided, but I use it as my daily driver to help me evade Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube’s tracking of everything I do.

Nice! Thanks for sharing
Cool extension! I’ve been using this for quite some time now.
Sometimes, front-end instances would go down and there would be no easy way to monitor these things, so you’d start bouncing around trying to find one that actually works. Personally, it allowed me to discover some very niche projects like a front-end alternative for wolfram, medium etc.
If your threat model is in the extreme side this extension is not for you. But in hindsight everything boils down to trust. Thanks for sharing!
Extensions are a huge security risk not to mention increases your chances of being fingerprinted
Does it really matter if the extension is open source?
Yes, the fewer people I have to trust with my data the better.
Only in some cases. This extension for example isn’t fingerprintable. You would need to control the site from where u open Reddit for example by clicking a link + control reddit to test if connect to this site. And even this is not a goo methode + common fingerprinting protections will prevent this.
Its a nice stepping stone but long term its better tomigrated to fediverse alternatives
