Privacy Please is a browser extension that redirects users from major websites to privacy-respecting front end alternatives
When you navigate to sites like YouTube, Reddit, Twitter/X, or Google, the extension intercepts the request and redirects you to an open-source frontend. Same content, zero tracking, no telemetry, no bloat. The extension is available for Chrome and Firefox based browsers.
Privacy front ends on the internet are alternative, often open-source web interfaces that allow users to access popular online services (like social media platforms, video sites, and search engines) while enhancing privacy and reducing tracking. They act as intermediaries or proxies between the user and the original service, stripping away invasive tracking, ads, JavaScript requirements, and account sign-up walls, thereby minimising data collection and improving user anonymity.
Examples:
* YouTube → Invidious
* Twitter/X → Nitter
* Reddit → RedLib
* Google Search → SearXNG
* TikTok → ProxiTok
Yes, I am aware that Sam has a “dark” past, and he is not hiding that, but he served his time and seems to be now focusing more on Darknet & Darkweb News, OpSec, OSINT, Privacy Rights, etc now. His extension is fully open source, so anyone can see what the code does, and he is encouraging others to fork and improve it.
He also has some interesting news on these topics, which one can follow via the RSS feed at
