Love the extension, but it's a shame not all the alternate front-ends work. The Reddit ones stopped working a while ago, the fandom one is unreliable, lots of other ones are just a tad too slow.

Not a complete alternative but check out Indie Wiki Buddy extension for independent wikis that are shifting away from Fandom.
mossbag on YouTube has a good video on it.
If your hardware supports, you may self-host your favourite privacy frontends (e.g. LibReddit) on docker on your system, and point that extension to your self-hosted privacy frontend servers.
libreddit is the Reddit front end. Reddit did something, it seems they blocked IP addresses. There are ways around it and folks do have some instances, but there's sitll a lot out there that don't work. You can rung your own libreddit and put it through Cloudflare's bridge thing and then point libredirect to your own libreddit for stability.
Some instances doesn't work, but reddit frontends work for me.
The beauty is the extension over alternatives is that it gives you a list of alternatives. Ping them and switch to the quickest loading one.
