# On Personal Websites
|
||||
You are currently on my personal website. I want to talk about some of the reasons for building it.
|
||||
|
||||
The main purpose of this website for me is having fun; designing, writing, and structuring are enjoyable. But there are other reasons too. Others could learn from my experiences; People can give me feedback that improves my skills. Of course, there are many reasons to build a website: personal branding, restoring the Old web, learning about the web stack, or having fun like me.

# On software freedom
|
||||
I am a big advocate for software which can be freely used for any end goal, modified, distributed. People can collaborate on libre software, make it suit their needs, or remove anti-features. These benefits may seem vague, however, so I'll show some practical examples.

||||
I advocate for software free to use, modify, and distribute for any purpose. I'll demonstrate my point using practical examples.
|

|
||||
Firstly, there is NewPipe, an alternative YouTube app available on FDroid. It has no advertisements, it saves battery, it has a dark mode setting for OLED, it supports PeerTube, and you can watch videos even when your phone screen is off, or download videos locally to any path, and there are a few other features as well. NewPipe is functionally superior to the official YouTube app, since it's designed by the users, for the users - who can also contribute to it as well, not for making it's developers rich.

|
||||
|

People forked Newpipe and added features such as a dislike counter on videos (powered by Return Youtube Dislike), SponsorBlock support, and so on. This project is NewPipexSponsorBlock.
|
||||
|
||||
Another example is Blender, a widely used 3D modelling multi-featured application. And Krita, a drawing program. FOSS isn't functionally inferior to proprietary software.

# Useful Addons For Palemoon
|
||||
A list of essential Palemoon addons.
|
||||
|
||||
eMatrix is a content blocker which shows network requests in table, where rows are domain names, and columns are content types.
|
||||
|
||||
URL Rewriter rewrites URLS using user-defined regular expressions.
|
||||
|
||||
Stylem is a custom stylesheet manager; Using CSS can hide any gunk that slips through content blockers.
|
||||
|
||||
Vimperator adds a VIM-like interface to the browser. Unfortunately, its builtin help doesn't work because of compatability issues with Pale Moon - it was originally written for pre-WebExtension Firefox.
|
||||
|
||||
Classic Add-ons Archive is an add-on for installing Firefox addons made before Firefox switched from XUL to WebExtensions for it's ecosystem. Sometimes you need add-ons from there.
|
||||
|
||||
There is HTTPS Always combined with HTTPS Inquirer, which redirects websites from HTTP to HTTPS if they support it.
|
||||
|
||||
Decentraleyes downloads CDN content locally and injects them into webpages that use CDNs.
|
||||
|
||||
Secret Agent shuffles properties of your HTTP(s) requests so that a unique fingerprint is generated on each visit, and while the conventional wisdom is making your fingerprint blend in with the crowd, it's a hassle, and making a fingerprint so unique that it'll never be seen again by a website is better.
|
||||
|
||||
Proxy Privacy Ruler determines whether or not to use a proxy, based on what patterns the current website URL matches.
|
||||
This is a list of addons I use with Pale Moon:
|
||||
* eMatrix displays network requests in table-format with websites as rows and resource types as columns, and blocks the specified requests.
|
||||
* URL Rewriter rewrites URLS.
|
||||
* Stylem applies user-specified custom stylesheets, often to make websites look nicer, less bloated, or something else.
|
||||
* Vimperator adds a VIM-like interface to the browser. However, since it was written for XUL Firefox, it's builtin help breaks on Pale Moon
|
||||
* Classic Add-ons Archive contains Firefox addons made before Firefox switched from XUL to WebExtensions.
|
||||
* HTTPS Always combined with HTTPS Inquirer redirects websites from HTTP to HTTPS when possible.
|
||||
* Decentraleyes downloads CDN content locally and injects them into webpages that use CDNs.
|
||||
* Secret Agent shuffles properties of your HTTP(s) requests creating a unique fingerprint on each visit. Being less unique stifles the use of addons, adds burden, and generally is an inferior approach.
|
||||
* Proxy Privacy Ruler applies your selected proxy only on URLs that match defined patterns.

# Useful Web Links
|
||||
Basically a one-man one-page link directory. These link directories also somewhat tell you generally who the author is. I don't agree with all of the views of the authors listed here.
