Since Startpage is no longer reliable for me, I wonder if there is any alternative to this function that still respects privacy
Sometimes I find myself with Rethink DNS + WireGuard that randomly block some sites, and the page doesn’t load at all (I don’t know if it’s the fault of Rethink DNS or the VPN, since the domain in the logs appears as a question mark and is not locked)
anyway, any alternative to Anonymous view?
Thank you all
This recommendation is likely inadequate, but why not use a VPN provider, such as Mullvad VPN or IVPN, and set up a proxy in your browser’s settings?
For Firefox and its derivatives, it’s quite simple, and the guides for and from Mullvad and IVPN below explain it.
In the case of Chromium-based browsers, AFAIK, it’s a bit more cumbersome, but it should be fairly simple. However, if you’re lazy like me, you can the SOCKS5 proxies to Mullvad Browser and Firefox, and not Brave or any other Chromium-based browser.
(The links for Mullvad VPN’s SOCKS5 proxy guide and IVPN’s SOCKS5 proxy guide.)
Btw, if you’re using Firefox or a derivative, you can use Mozilla’s Multi-account containers to set up a different proxy server for each container. For IVPN it works great, but I’m not sure about Mullvad VPN, I currently don’t use it, so ymmv.
I did not mention Proton VPN at all here since I’m not familiar with it.
The best part about archive.is is it removes dynamic parts of a webpage (typically driven by javascript) in a way that doesn’t break a dynamically-rendered text sections.
I also tend to use ghostarchive.org at times for webpages & for YouTube mostly.
