What is priviblur?
Priviblur is a Python-based web application built with the Sanic framework that serves as an alternative interface for Tumblr. It functions as a proxy, fetching content from Tumblr on the user's behalf so that browsing happens without tracking, without requiring a Tumblr account, and without JavaScript. The UI offers a modern look with optional dark mode, supports multiple languages through community translations on Weblate, and can use Redis for caching to improve speed. Licensed under AGPL-3.0, it ships official container images on Quay.io and includes a docker-compose file for straightforward deployment. There is no official hosted instance, but the project maintains a list of community-run public instances.
