1 # Privacy Redirect for Safari 2 3 Privacy Redirect for Safari is a web extension that automatically redirects Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Google Maps, Google Search, and Google Translate to alternative front-ends like Nitter and Teddit. These front-ends provide users with ways to access the content of popular sites, without exploiting your private information. 4 5 => https://github.com/zedeus/nitter Nitter on GitHub 6 => https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit Teddit on Codeberg 7 8 Until now, extensions that could do this were limited to users of Chrome and Firefox. Privacy Redirect for Safari expands this functionality to Safari. 9 10 Unlike other browsers, for many years Safari did not encourage the development of extensions. However, recent updates from Apple have signaled a change in direction, and useful extensions for Safari can finally be developed. Privacy Redirect for Safari is one of the first of this new wave of extensions. 11 12 Privacy Redirect for Safari is the first step in creating a wealth of high-quality extensions for Safari. It's built with the latest and greatest in Apple technologies, like SwiftUI and Safari Web Extensions. 13 14 => https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions See: Apple's docs on the new Safari Web Extensions 15 16 Privacy Redirect for Safari is a fork of Simon Brazell's Chrome and Firefox extension, porting the extension's functionality to Safari. It solves one of the most frustrating problems with front-ends like Nitter – the need to manually edit links – by having the browser edit them for you. 17 18 => https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect Simon Brazell's Privacy Redirect on GitHub 19 20 Privacy Redirect for Safari is the first public release of SMMR Software, a collaboration between FIGBERT and Jacob Neplokh.
