its a redirector (iirc) that redirects u to decentralized frontends for things like reddit, twitter, etc

it tries to check which instances are offline, to only redirect you to working ones. reddit can be redirected to libreddit/redlib, which makes reddit unable to track you, and these frontends are also much lighter on resources (ram, cpu, network traffic, cognitive load)
