LibRedirect - A web extension that redirects sites like Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube to privacy friendly alternative frontends.
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
Its a nice stepping stone but long term its better tomigrated to fediverse alternatives
Oh 100%! And I love using fediverse where I can. Unfederated corporate owned garbage though unfortunately has a lot of important and useful information still.
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.
