Is there a DDG / Firefox addon / extension which will force the search to run through FOSS / Fediverse first before running through websites which use cookies and trackers? (e.g., searches videos on Peertube first before Vimeo and Youtube).

@QCCEChris Not exactly sure about fediverse but otherwise:

- Browser addon to prefer alternative frontends: https://libredirect.github.io/

- Alternative metasearch you can self-host: https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation.html

Both configurable to support custom sites.

LibRedirect - Privacy-friendly Redirector

A web extension that redirects YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc. requests to alternative privacy-friendly frontends

@konform Thank you so much for the assist!

@QCCEChris check out:

- search.noc.social
- tootfinder
- fedisearch
- for peertube: sepia search

I would be surprised if you can find plugins for them, but they might an interface thst is standardized enough to add them manually as search engine for the browser.

In any case: Hope it helps.
