    Ohh, that’s similar to using libredirect which keeps a curated list of frontends.

    The bad thing is not keeping local copies of subscriptions wherever supported, so if the user forgets to keep backups, that additional layer does it for the user, and can change to any frontend instance keeping the same subscriptions for all, and even preferences, :). That’s perhaps way beyond the scope of any tool…

      Yes, LibRedirect is redirecting done on client side and Farside is redirecting done on server side. So Farside works even without browser plugins. I mostly use it when sharing links with other people, so that I do not send them into various privacy hellholes just because I wanted them to see something interesting.

      Good question in regards to subscriptions. I’m not a web developer, so I do not know exactly what are all the technologies that could be used to solve this.
