Services
I host a small collection of privacy-focused front-ends. These act as alternatives to mainstream platforms, often without tracking, ads, or the need for an account (unless you want one). They are hosted for free and do not require payment.
All services for the most part are protected by bot protections. Namely, my new captcha system as detailed in a blog post . This uses a self-hosted captcha system called Cap, which is also proof of work like the previous systems. Any logs with significant details are cleaned very frequently. You will not be nagged for verification after passing once, for a set amount of time.
If you enjoy any of these services, you can make a donation to keep making this work possible. I currently pay for them out of pocket.
Nitter, Redlib and Skylib are hosted by best effort. They have frequent issues which cause them to stay blocked for prolonged periods of time, are in beta/development or have bugs which simply do not have any fixes, causing significant downtime or other issues. When I see they are broken, and they do not recover in a timely manner, I make many attempts to get them back to working, but it is not a guarantee.
Invidious
Watch YouTube with this privacy-friendly frontend. It has no ads or tracking at all. You can optionally create an account to manage subscriptions, playlists, and watch history.
SearXNG
Search the web without being tracked. Aggregates results from multiple sources and avoids clutter like long AI summaries. By default, the engines are all turned off except the Brave API, which always works. You need to enable more than just one engine to get the full benefits, by using the preferences page. The service, due to its nature, uses Anubis instead of my normal bot-blocker. Nevertheless, they are similar to each other.
