Can you elaborate on what makes it different from libredirect/redirector?
What’s that and how do I use it?
It automatically redirects websites. So for example every time that I go to a site that has unscrupulous marketing and tracking, I can potentially use a privacy friendly front end alternative website. For example, every time I visit a Reddit link, it can redirect me to a teddit link, which is a front end alternative that strips out the marketing. These front end alternatives apply to a variety of websites such as YouTube, Urban dictionary, Wikipedia, etc.
You can find either of the listed extensions on GitHub to install them
Thanks. What does “manifest v3” mean?
It is Google’s attempt to limit what is possible within a chromium browser. It will potentially lead to the demise of numerous ad blocking extensions for example. It is one of the driving forces that encouraged me to move to Firefox to be honest.
Actually, it’s far more limited than those options. The main advantage however, is the Manifest V3 support of it, meaning that such extension can be used on limited web browser that enforce it. Which isn’t a lot.
I will start to call chrome/iums limited web browser from now on
Glad to have found one, who share the intent. It was a “polite” way of specifically pointing out those awful browsers that restrict only ManifestV3 usage. Some Chromium based projects say they reverted such change on their versions, but I’m having doubt on them, actually maintaining V2 support for themselves. This post was sponsored by the Mozilla Firefox gang.
It uses MV3, that is the main differance.
Now let’s get ISPs to run this!!
