Shariff may be a good alternative and offers privacy too, because it doesn't share info with social platforms.

There's a plugin for Open Journal Systems (OJS, https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fojsde%2Fshariff&data=05%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ce40fab58cb3e490135c608db62b0b6d7%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638212283337292143%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8TyWY4j1SwMtvLBEUe30e58vwa3gSHMuYTTWcYpvHgQ%3D&reserved=0), so why not somebody write one for EPrints?

Kind regards,

Hi,
I believe some repositories were using the 'AddThis' social bookmarking tool.
This service has now been killed: https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.addthis.com%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ce40fab58cb3e490135c608db62b0b6d7%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638212283337292143%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Qv21OxiAkt7AOZCjJUXbWhaRbQgYuTZf8DxbYGhmctA%3D&reserved=0

This caused some interesting issues for my repositories in some browsers - which didn't handle the change very well.

If you have used AddThis in your repository (or on other web sites you support), you might want to remove the javascript sooner rather than later!

Cheers,
John
