Some web reading hacks:
1. replace medium.com/article-name with scribe.rip/article-name and it removes all ads/nags/pop-ups (open source software)
2. replace reddit.com/r/subreddit-name with teddit.net/r/subbreddit-name to get plain UI, privacy-enhanced alternative open source frontend for reddit.
any others?
@artistsandhackers
Nitter!
Dec 10, 2023, 3:59 PM@neopostmodern @artistsandhackers on my experience nitter almost never works, twitter api changes made it awful to consistently use it
@agatha @neopostmodern @artistsandhackers I think, the main instance essentially stopped working, so the challenge is to find a stable instance: https://nitter.poast.org
@artistsandhackers there's libredirect, which does this for a wide range of services: https://libredirect.github.io/
@artistsandhackers YouTube.com/youtu.be with yewtu.be to use invidious ui for videos.
@artistsandhackers
Using the accessibility settings can make reading certain websites easier by removing the clutter. It's great.
@artistsandhackers For publications like The Economist and NYT you can get past the paywall by reading the archived version on archive.is
@artistsandhackers invidious
@artistsandhackers use libredirect to automate it
Dec 10, 2023, 4:02 PM@melchiron @artistsandhackers this! libredirect.github.io/
(that site also has a list btw)
Replace instagram.com with imginn.com (a login-free mirror site)
Dec 10, 2023, 8:37 AM@artistsandhackers Wait, is teddit working again? last time I checked, it wasn't.
@sowth off and on for me! i think can be self-hosted as well.
Dec 10, 2023, 10:56 AM@artistsandhackers @kayserifserif It’s not reading, but if you replace https://youtube.com/watch?v=QIv9YR1bMwY with https://yout-ube.com/watch?v=QIv9YR1bMwY, you’ll get the video free from ads and clutter.
Dec 10, 2023, 5:31 PM@artistsandhackers@post.lurk.org i don't think teddit is still developed anymore after the reddit api thing, teddit.net no longer loads
@artistsandhackers nitter.net instead of Twitter.com when someone shares a Twitter thread with you
@artistsandhackers If you don't want to choose between #Piped and #Invidious (and services based on them), you can use https://redirect.yt/
