Open Source Websites You Should Visit
Hi how are things?
Today I bring you this list of open source websites that yes or yes, you should visit
So enjoy this list!
NOTE: We will not include web pages that also have mobile or desktop applications, only those that work in web browsers
If I'm missing any, comment, I'll be updating it.
Recommended Software for the Average Joe and Jane [1/3]
Part 1 of 3 in Series: lists will continually be updated periodically.
Criteria I look for universally for my lists are as follows:
— Open source code: publicly audited
— Privacy-focus: minimal data collection, encryption by default
— Security-focus: 2FA available, encryption by default
— Zero Knowledge end-to-end encryption (E2EE) when appropriate
— Cross-platform or progressive web apps (PWAs) + cloud backup/sync
— Freemium subscription model, so basic features are always available for free
— Oligarchy / Big Tech alternative
— Absence of “dark” or deceptive patterns
Criteria specifically for this list:
— Established companies with a strong reputation
— Provides a “it just works” experience for the user: minimal configuration, user friendly
— Features available can easily replace Big Tech’s popular apps
Web Applications
Only freemium/free services, no trialware, no installation needed.

Clean and straightforward. It lets you download videos or quickly extract audio super quick.
can't download basic youtube music video
Great, but recently dropped support for YouTube videos.
"waiting for cloudflare turnstile" has taken years off of my life
no longer download from YouTube, but still can download from other sites.
You can still download videos from YouTube using another instance from this website: https://cobalt.directory
The latest instance seems to be working.
Currently not downloading from YouTube.
