A web extension that redirects YouTube, Twitter, Instagram... requests to alternative privacy friendly frontends and backends
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.
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.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !privacy@lemmy.ml

Does it really matter if the extension is open source?
Yes, the fewer people I have to trust with my data the better.
