We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let’s change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

  1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
  2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
  3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

    LibRedirect is an open-source browser extension for Firefox and Microsoft Edge that automatically redirects popular online services like YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and others to privacy-friendly alternative websites, enhancing user privacy by avoiding trackers and data collection on the original platforms.

      Sounds nice, for which services do you use it?

      I’ve had mixed experiences with Invidious but haven’t tried that for some time.

        Not original comment but I use it to not directly go to Twitter, Reddit, and sometimes YouTube (ReVanced or FreeTube for me). They have a shit ton of services that can be redirected, although you have to worry about the proxies that are dead (Instagram, Tiktok). Even then, you can use it to avoid directly visiting the real site if you miss-clicked.

          Yeah the Instagram/Tiktok proxies always seem to be down or rate limited. Self hosted redlib tho is nice most of the time.
