I made a project called Wikiless, it's self-hostable, FOSS. How it works is that the backend basically mirrors the Wikipedia content to the user. The user's browser never talks to Wikipedia, only the server backend does. So you don't give your IP address to the Wikipedia. Currently there's no other instances but the official one wikiless.org.

URL renaming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monero -> https://wikiless.org/wiki/Monero?lang=en

https://de.wikipedia.org/ -> https://wikiless.org/?lang=de

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monero&action=history -> https://wikiless.org/w/index.php?title=Monero&action=history&lang=en

Another redirect idea :smile: Edit: updated with search providers

Potential search providers:

These are all privacy focused.

• Searx
• DuckDuckGo
• Qwant
• MetaGer
• Swisscows
• Mojeek
• YaCy
• Startpage.com

Found on: privacytools.io & restoreprivacy.com

SearX

Searx is a privacy-respecting metasearch engine. Google Searches could redirect here (and potentially Bing, Yahoo, Yandex etc).

Source: GitHub Documentation: doc Instances: searx.space

There are also Meta-searx instances ("These are websites that source from other searx instances. These are useful if you can't decide which Searx instance to use"). More info is available on searx.space - click "About".

When you click a View on YouTube link in Invidious it redirects back to invidious. It would be more useful if this actually went to YouTube as there is sometimes issues with some videos.

First, I would like to thank you for developing 'Privacy Redirect' plugin and distributing it as a 'free software'(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html). However, I would be happier if you release it under any copyleft license(https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html) such as GNU GPL.

Submitted via email.

I'm open to changing the license although I think I need to get permission from all the contributors now as they contributed their code under the existing license and may not want it changed, anyone else have experience with a situation like this?

Would like to request the ability to whitelist websites from redirecting, this is beneficial on sites that have trouble with Invidious in embeds and you don't mind them passing through, but want other sites to continue using the redirection.

One site in specific I find I have issues is cytube. https://cytu.be/

PR Description:

Adds support for redirecting Reddit links to the old desktop (https://old.reddit.com/) and mobile designs (https://i.reddit.com/) which serve less JavaScript than the new design (https://www.reddit.com/). Also handles case where you're on an old view (i.e. i.reddit.com) and you update the settings to redirect to the other old view (i.e. old.reddit.com).

Not sure if this is can really be counted as a privacy redirect since there isn't an alternative, privacy-forward Reddit interface so I would understand if this change isn't accepted. The UI for this change also doesn't feel very intuitive due to the fact we're redirecting to subdomains of the same service. But at least this is reference code for anyone who wants local support :smile:

Testing:

Validated in Chromium and Firefox.

Screenshots:

Hello!

First, thank you for this handy add-on! Combining redirects to those sites into one add-on is really awesome. Please keep up the good work!

For a while now I have problems with embedded videos. They are not shown, I only get a black rectangle. Please find example output from the Firefox developer console below. I get such and similar output from different pages, varying in the number of repetitions of the same message. The last part on each line is the (temporary) file name, line and column number. (Sorry for the bad format.) Amid that jungle, two URLs shine out:

• https://invidio.us/yts/jsbin/www-embed-player-vfl19rSh2/www-embed-player.js
• https://www.youtube.com/yts/jsbin/player_ias-vfl22ubNH/en_US/base.js

Interestingly, only one URL is redirected to Invidious in the example output (a different problem?). On some pages I get errors with the both URLs, but with the first URL already rewritten to Invidious. When I try to access those URLs, I get redirected to the homepage of Invidious, which fits the error messages about content of unexpected MIME type, as far as I can see. However, fetching those files with invidio.us as domain also leads to the homepage in Ungoogled Chromium.

I think this is a problem of this add-on, because I tested with another add-on that redirects to Invidious and with that I don't get this error and the videos play. However, I still get communication with YouTube and repeated output of an error message, so this specific (unmaintained) add-on is not the best code example.

Happy to help testing. Please let me know, if I can provide more information. Thanks!

An instance may be slow, not working, language isn't English, and many other things that will let you want to change to another one. Just click on that button in the address bar, and as you wish.

Here are a few of them https://git.sr.ht/~cadence/bibliogram-docs/tree/master/docs/Instances.md - right now the one that's default almost never works. Cheers!

width: 100% sets the content-box width, unless the box-sizing value is border-box, see:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box-sizing

(box-sizing: border-box is already the default for <select>).

In platforms with more padding by default on inputs (like Firefox on Linux for example) this can cause the inputs to overflow the popup. Also shrink the padding manually to what the popup layout expects, so that it doesn't grow past the popup.

Additionally we remove the appearance from checkboxes so that they don't take up space.

This fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1625716.

As of now, instance lists are hard-coded in background.js. It may be a bit complicated, but since instances may (very frequently) temporarily stop working, wouldn't it be convenient to have a customizable instance list?

Is it possible to include URL adjustments to load videos with preset settings. Especially to use invidious's proxy that avoids Google seeing your IP Address.

Hi, Thanks for you extension, it truly helps a lot of people.

I was wondering if it could be possible and not too hard to add an option on each service to enable it, but to be able to choose between "always" and "private browsing mode only".

This way you could access one or several services when in normal mode, and automatically switch to their privacy-friendly (and often, faster) alternative when in "private mode".

There are many URLs on Reddit which aren't on Libreddit, namely the /dev/api which isn't on Libreddit.

Pages that aren't on Libreddit I would expect not to redirect, and instead take me to the standard Reddit.

A whitelist should include:

• /
• /u/**
• /r/**
