Someone online introduced me to redirector. I saw it as a tool for efficiency and redirecting my internet consumption when I was mindlessly surfing the internet.

Then I came across libredirect which was less-customizable but had built-in redirects towards privacy-focused front-ends for popular websites.

Then I made the exodus from Reddit and the resulting communities tend to have a greater focus on privacy and security.

Then I switched from Windows -> Debian and that's all she wrote.
