There are privacy friendly frontends for YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, etc. But I've never seen one for Github.
I'd love to have a privacy friendly frontend for Github which worked completely without JavaScript, since there are a lot of interesting projects there, but Github's usability without JavaScript is mediocre. And the fact that Microsoft is constantly tracking me make me sick.
@dachary @werwolf a frontend to #Github would only be a marginal improvement, and in the end you're still bringing business to a socially irresponsible privacy offender. Luckily there are tens of good alternatives that make it easy to ditch github: https://git.sdf.org/humanacollaborator/humanacollabora/src/branch/master/forge_comparison.md
@resist1984 @dachary I've never used Github myself and I never will. But when exploring and cloning other projects which are on Github I don't have other option.
So a software that acted as a proxy between Github and my browser which could let me clone projects without revealing Microsoft's my IP would be cool, plus a frontend that I could get redirected to when I click a Github link, like I do with YouTube and Invidious
@werwolf @dachary For cloning Github projects, there already is a privacy-respecting frontend: git. To clone over Tor, do something like "git clone --config http.proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118 https://github.com/nasa/fprime"
