This weekend donation went to Libredirect. It's a browser extension that helps you avoid websites and services that aren't privacy friendly by forwarding you to a better alternative. What it does is if you try to load a site or link such as Twitter or Youtube (among others) it will automatically redirect your browser to open the link in a FOSS friendly way. For instance if I open a Youtube link it will open in Invidious or if I open Twitter it will open in Nitter. The extension is availble in the extension store for various browsers. I myself can say it works in Abrowser which is a Firefox fork. The code for the extension is licensed using GPLv3.0.


The main website for the project is here:
