Is there an extension I can use to know if a site uses AWS? Their not getting a penny from me.
Good luck using 'the internet' without AWS.
If youre mostly looking at the same 5 websites anyway (because information is centralized now, this isnt the 90s) theres a private frontend for almost ever one. Libredirect is an extension that I use that auto-redirects to those front ends, and the original companies never see a dime.
AWS is getting their money regardless. The front end doesn’t matter, if the data/infrastructure is hosted on the backend with aws, they get paid for usage and the data (like the spice) must flow. I suppose by circumventing the website’s frontend you hurt that site’s bottom line by making them incur costs from AWS while not being able to monetize your visit. Which is at least something.
Theres one for CloudFlare, never checked for AWS
