Privacy-Preserving Redirection with Farside

5th March 2025 at 12:08pm

A tip I use daily is to use Farside to browse privacy-preserving mirrors of popular sites. This is really easy to use - you prepend the link you're going to with https://farside.link/, for example:

https://farside.link/reddit.com/r/whatever

or

https://farside.link/x.com/whoever

On my Mac, I have a clipboard watcher that automatically does this for me when I copy text containing a link. On my other devices, a Siri Shortcut (trigged from a menu in my Action Button) does the conversion and opens it on Safari.
