Proxy Raye: an alternative frontend for adult websites
SEX SEX SEX PROXY ALT-FRONTEND
Now that I have your attention...
Proxy Raye is a self-hostable alternative frontend for browsing adult websites without tracking or ads.
Think Invidious for porn.
Working demo here:

Repo (codeberg):

Currently (v0.4.0) supported platforms are XVideos, XNXX, PornHub (experimental), YouPorn, RedTube.
Hey there!
Version 0.4.0 adds support for PornHub (experimental), YouPorn and RedTube.
More features and platforms on the way!
If you know, you know.

Nice

So, are user accounts planned? That would be a great feature, especially if favoriting a video would automatically cache/download the video on the server.
Next added features (in near future) will be:
- advanced search with pagination and filters
- support for other 4-5 platforms
But yeah, a mechanism to save/bookmark favourite videos would definitely be cool and can be easily implemented!
Hm, from a privacy point of view, what's the difference between this, vs. a private/incognito tab with a pi-hole?
I mean:
- pi-hole eats the ads
- private/incognito eats the cookies
- the sites can still do basic tracking via the video feed itself
As for functional differences.... right now, the player seems to be missing the skip ±10sec feature, and the full-screen with rotate.
On the other hand... multi-site private bookmarking, would be interesting.
With incognito mode data is still fetched client-side: the browser still has to send requests directly to the target platform. Plus the origin platform will still set session cookies.
Instead PR (and as far as I know all other alt-frontends) fetches data and does scraping server-side, so that the browser never contacts the platform directly.
The idea is that you can host these alt-frontends wherever you wants (eg. on a remote VPS) outside of your network and they deal with the platforms as intermediaries, and people just have to open the proxy website and browse for content...
Fingerprinting from the original website is easy, the frontend will have a fingerprint as well but it should be shared by all the users without exposing their browsers. Better privacy therefore.
maybe there's some way to filter out the stepmothers with the stepfathers on the stepladders...?
Why are the thumbnails so hard to see unless you hover over a specific one?
It's a design choice to make site look less aggressive whenever you open it... On mobile version there is a switch to toggle opacity. Maybe I can add that also on desktop version.
