I mean… I managed to do it it minutes. What step are you stuck on?

without attribution

no…? on every bit of info theres a source button next to it which links you to the original article, similar to what bing chat does.

Brave Software

brave search, not the browser.

its referring to their search engine’s ai summarizer feature, i found an article when searching op’s title, quite a low effort post really since only an image was shared and no link to any article… or any description whatsoever.

Yeah, someone else the other day also said that the mastodon founder out of all people, was bribed by meta, lmao. And he followed up by saying that because we can’t prove it, it must be true. You could prove anything, even that lizard men exist, with that attitude. Just another day in any social media, i suppose.

The admins were probably paid off

Right, so because you personally don’t want to communicate with their users, means everyone has to abide by your opinion, because you don’t want to spend the 3 seconds to de-federate for yourself only. In order to not inconvenience you, everyone must be de-federated from meta, to save you those 3 seconds, even if some people wanted to communicate with meta, i suppose its too bad for them, they’re not important enough, only you are my lord and saviour /u/Monkeyhog.

Seriously?!

Is there an alternative that I don’t know about?

Violentmonkey

tampermunkey

use violentmonkey

Firefox translations (local-only website translation)

Firefox translations is good, but i’d recommend linguist instead, its still on-device (if you switch to the local engine in its settings), but is more feature rich, and i’ve found it to provide higher quality translations.

Buster Captcha Solver

Theres also privacy pass for cloudfare’s captchas

Nitter Redirect

I’d use libredirect instead, achieves the same purpose but also works with a tonne of other services as well and not just twitter -> nitter redirects, but also reddit -> libreddit, youtube -> piped, etc.

Facebook Container & Multi-Account Container

The only usecase for containers are multiple accounts, not privacy/security, fission’s sandboxing already takes care of that on firefox.

You have a huge number of addons though, i’d try to limit the number of installed addons unless it provides a purpose which is absolutely essential, can’t most of these addons be replaced with userscripts in violentmonkey? At least that way it’s more confined, in that it has privileges over a specific website rather than the entire browser. Know that every addon is a risk, even if the addon itself isn’t malicious, it could have a security vulnerability to be exploited.
