Scripts focusing on Redirection to Privacy Respecting frontends but also some of my own too.
GPL-3.0 License
This is a collection of user created GreaseMonkey scripts that will convert privacy disrespecting websites to FLOSS frontends.
There is also included some of my own GreaseMonkey scripts here as well. See the Personal Scripts section.
There are many awful websites on the internet. That's why there have been many projects that allow us to still make use of them but in a more privacy respecting way. Also it gives you the ability to customize to your heart's content.
These aim to acheive what something like Privacy-Redirect/Libredirect does. All these do is change your URL's domain to a different one.
You could be using Privacy-Redirect/Libredirect. But this is a fun DIY (do-it-yourself) project to make fun of bad privacy disrespecting websites.
Note: This script will work the best in terms of privacy if using a plugin such as uBlock Origin to block all JavaScript on privacy disrespecting websites.
These scripts will may break sometimes because instances of these websites will break from user load or other issues causing servers to crash. This is why these websites have multiple instances. If an instance breaks you can easily replace it with a different instance.
These scripts don't require coding knowledge to understand what they do. However knowing a bit of JavaScript or maybe python can help. This is a script example to show you how many of these scripts work. Some scripts might be more complicated than this example.
/*
DESCRIPTION:
This is a file that after installing a greasemonkey extension can
be used to convert youtube.com to any invidious instance.
NOTE: I might change this really often because instances may fail.

instagram-bibliogram.user.js
no longer works. Instagram is taking down frontends such as bibliogram for a variety of reasons. Take a look at this article by the bibliogram developer. Other frontends such as dumpor and imginn work more frequently but often break. They also have problems with playing videos. So for the time being use instagram-bibliogram.user.js
with caution.
These are seperate from the redirection scripts.
Deviant_Art_Age_Bypass.user.js

I want to make this an extention one day. Github should have this feature. Codeberg implemented a simple link.YouTube_Distraction_Blocker.user.js
Percentage_Complete_myanimelist.user.js
I hope those that contribute and help maintain these scripts have great times with them. As the web changes, so should we.
