If I discover other frontends I will add them to the table.
I also wanted to add FreeBay (an eBay frontend) but the owner has removed both the instance as the repository where the source code was located.
It is worth mentioning that I have found other projects like Yotter or fbcmd, but I didn't include them since they are not updated since some time ago.
To finish I leave some things that I am not sure how it could be added to the README:
- In this forum you can find a lot of modified apps (for example, to remove ads, trackers or enable extra features).
- Pidgin has several plugins for different instant messaging protocols.
- In /r/RedditAlternatives there is a list where several alternatives to Reddit are compiled
- Projects similar to this:
- https://github.com/digitalblossom/alternative-frontends
- https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-frontends/
- https://w.mahdi.cz/books/privacy/page/alternative-privacy-friendly-frontends
- Userscript that redirects popular social media platforms to their privacy respecting frontends.
