Uses a new bearer token and a new set of updated endpoints. Only thing missing is search.

Can someone who's less stupid than me at programming explain this? From my understanding "endpoints" is a term related to APIs but... nitter just scrapes the site, doesn't use the twitter API in any way

EDIT: nvm, the readme says they do use an "unofficial twitter api" of some sort

It's the 3 day no poop man! (sorry but you'll have to bear that title forever)

Thanks, but I worry it may have been a little too assholish on my part. Again, I wasn't trying to bring OP down and definitely don't want to be one of those smug "I know better than you and will jump on every mistake of yours" types. I know what it's like to have those kind of people jumping on your throat for a relatively minor thing, because I've made this kind of mistake before. Just want to state again that my intent isn't to dogpile on OP but to remind everyone to be cautious before assuming.

I edited the comment to remove the unnecessary snarky chromium bit. !@[email protected] I'm sorry if this comment made you feel shitty. It isn't what I intended to do.

These are literally default search extensions from Mozilla that come with every vanilla Firefox install - some basic digging would've told you that (in fact, your very screenshot shows that the extension IDs come from Mozilla). They're what allows the search options for those sites in Firefox. If you go to search settings and turn those search engines off, they have zero effect on you. Or better yet, simply hit "remove" in those settings to completely get rid of them, which makes them no longer show up anywhere, even about:debugging.

You're welcome to move away from Garuda; it just wouldn't change anything. You could also fork the code to remove the extensions by default, but at that point ask yourself why neither LibreWolf nor the Garuda team found it necessary to remove these extensions by default if they were actually a privacy threat (and again, you could just remove them yourself in 5 seconds through search settings).

Honestly, these default search providers could potentially be removed simply because more privacy-focused users have no reason to use such search engines, but that's something you should take up with the LibreWolf/Garuda team in a polite discussion.

Here, this post could potentially affect Garuda's reputation for something that's completely harmless and is 2 layers upstream from them (FF > LibreWolf > FireDragon). It also makes privacy enthusiasts look silly and paranoid.

I understand why seeing these would make you suspicious, but the next step would be to look it up somewhere rather than jumping to a conclusion.

OP, I'm not trying to scold you (and I'm sorry this comment feels that way) . Rather, this is a reminder to everyone here: please do some due diligence before posting stuff.

(P.S. As someone who once also used this distro and browser, I would also recommend to just setup FF or even LibreWolf the way you want instead of using this specialized distro fork. Not for any malicious reason, but simply because important security updates are bound to come late to a fork of a fork.)

you can always browse it thru a privacy-friendly frontend that scrapes the site, like libreddit or teddit. This way you get any answers or whatever you might want, no ads or bloat, and reddit inc doesn't benefit

Yeah, I feel the same. The consequences weren't even all that extreme. And more importantly, it's really not his fault that Epic set up the group that way, and the grown men malding and screaming at a child like melodramatic pissbabies are truly a clownshow. I laughed out loud at the "Lock it. Lock it now." guy - how can one sniff their own farts to such a degree?

oh, it happens all the time lol

a great recent-ish example is the time some kid PR'ed a dumb readme edit to an Unreal Engine repo which was used only for making people sign a TOS before getting access to the engine's source code, which led to.... this.

No problem, I should be thanking you actually because I only found about this after seeing your comment and decided to look up the list to check if it works well with uBO

Honestly, using uBO (which is really the only blocker anyone should be using) I never see those popups anyway. And that list apparently causes unintended connections to google servers (warning, there's some drama in this issue between the ublock dev and the list's dev, but gorhill comes off more reasonable here.)

So really, just turn on most of the filter lists in uBO settings as per your need and you should be good to go.

ayy the only 2 extensions i need for happy living. that plus firefox configured for privacy and anti-tracking

thanks for making people aware of this. i'd already deleted my reddit account in 2021 or so; libreddit was my only interaction with reddit for more than a year even before I came to lemmy, so I don't know if i'm even considered a "reddit refugee", ha.

it always surprises me how few people know about libreddit and teddit (its old reddit looking counterpart) even in places such as hwre

my brother 👏 our authorities are too busy using pirated software to crack down on it. can't imagine some people live in countries where anyone gives half a shit about piracy.
