AnonymousOverflow
A self-hostable front end for reading Stack Overflow threads without trackers or the site's cluttered interface.
These buttons open the developer's own site, repository or store listing in a new tab. wares.gg does not host downloads.
About AnonymousOverflow
AnonymousOverflow lets you read Stack Overflow threads through a separate server, so your IP address, browsing habits and browser fingerprint data are not exposed to Stack Overflow itself. The pages are shown in a simpler layout without the usual clutter.
It is written in Go and ships with a Dockerfile and an example Docker Compose file for running your own instance. The repository also keeps a list of public instances for people who do not want to host one.
