Privacy Please is a browser extension that automatically redirects users from major websites to privacy-respecting frontend alternatives. Instead of feeding surveillance capitalism, you get clean access to content without tracking, ads, or engagement profiling.

Comparison Before and After

🔒 What It Does

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.

Examples:

• YouTube → Invidious
• Twitter/X → Nitter
• Reddit → RedLib
• Google Search → SearXNG
• TikTok → ProxiTok

The extension supports multiple frontends for each service. You can pick your preferred instance or disable redirection for specific platforms entirely.

✅ Features

• Seamless redirection from centralized platforms to FOSS frontends
• User-configurable instance selection per service
• Enable/disable individual redirect rules from the UI
• Lightweight and fast — no telemetry, no bloat
• Open-source under AGPL-3.0

🛡️ Why This Matters

Most modern websites aren't just content platforms — they’re surveillance machines. Even without logging in, you’re being profiled. This extension bypasses the platform’s frontend entirely, reducing your exposure to:

• Tracking cookies
• Behavioral analytics
• Fingerprinting
• Ad targeting
• UI dark patterns

Instead of patching the surveillance model, this extension replaces it at the source.
