Hello!

Are there more sites like https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/ that would do privacy focused reviews? Maybe there are some more crowd based?

Thanks!

      One of these things is not like the other…

      >[PrivacyTools.io] appears to be a heavily SEO-optimized version of the site which recommends tools in exchange for financial compensation. Very recently, IVPN and Mullvad, two VPN providers near-universally recommended by the privacy community and notable for their stance against affiliate programs were removed from PrivacyTools. In their place? NordVPN, Surfshark, ExpressVPN, and hide.me; Giant VPN corporations with untrustworthy platforms and business practices, notorious for their aggressive marketing and affiliate programs.

        I knew that PTio had some kind of controversy, but was not aware it was that bad.

          There is a little more to the story. Same guy owns other scammy shopping sites, made some accusations, did some trolling.

      Thanks for sharing! While this is great resource for software, I still would like to see something similar but for physical devices like phones, TVs, cars, toasters and anything IoT.

      Huh, throws a server error 500 indeed.

      Cool resource though, they basically list all kinds of products, both digital services and hardware appliances, sorting them after how well they deal with user privacy.

    This link works instead of the one OP sent, seems like a server issue from Mozilla right now?

    The site seems to be down

    So, for everyone that doesn’t know, in mozilla’s own words:

    About *Privacy Not Included: *Privacy Not Included is a buyers guide focused on privacy rather than price or performance. Launched in 2017, the guide has reviewed hundreds of products and apps. It arms shoppers with the information they need to protect the privacy of their friends and family, while also spurring the tech industry to do more to safeguard consumers.

    (Btw I love rss readers that cache stuff)

      In my case I’m using Miniflux RSS reader on Docker on a Raspberry Pi4. It has option to download content of articles. It’s really lightweight.

    I used to hink RestorePrivacy was good, but they’re shilling NordVPN and these other ‘famous’ VPNs too, also with affiliate links, so no longer trust them. Also from what I’ve read previously their authours dont seemt to take critique very well…
