Just wanted to check some user reviews for a serie, now IMDB forces me to create an account. Such bullshit to read some reviews. No fucking way. Fuck corporate enshittification. Fuck IMDB. Fuck Amazon.

    hi, just wanted to notify you that this can be circumvented automatically with a https://libredirect.github.io/ linking to an IMDB instance. I just checked and there is at least one public instance available. It has a button in the settings that scans a public registry of them, it can randomly select from them, and there is a button in its popup menu to automatically remove any broken instance + reroll. Often there are some that exist it doesn’t know about, and the whole point is that you can host your own. In fewer words, it’s a collection of private frontends run by a variety of collectives and hobbyists, with a slick addon that works in Firefox Android mobile btw 😎 . This should drastically improve your experience on mainstream websites, especially if you are the kind who “just drops in for second” and slams into a stupid login wall

    Don’t get caught lacking my friend nobody should be browsing default Youtube and IMDB layout. They have themes 🎀
