I debated whether to post this as the privacy community already has excellent websites with https://www.privacyguides.org/ and https://www.privacytools.io/ (which is actually metric on the site).
However, I really tried to focus on newcomers who might be less technical. So I really hope that this can be a useful resource, whether it is for you starting this journey, or friends/family who could use the help.
It’s a shame that it doesn’t provide the visitor with any additional information about each of the recommended options. It would be cool if you could provide some information about how certain option stacks up against others!
Minor nitpick: some of the categories it’s tagged with seem to be a bit misleading. LibreOffice is tagged with “Purchase and own the software permanently” or KeePassXC is tagged with “Free Tier” implying to me that there’s a paid one.
I’m not sure about some of the picks (NordPass or Dashlane for example) but default selection on the home page seems pretty good to me!
Sidenote: I wouldn’t trust privacytools.io anymore (see privacyguides.org FAQ).
Thanks! Will take all this feedback on board. Can see how some of the wording is confusing. I am looking at slowly introducing more information on each tool (screenshots included). For now, I try to link people as to where they can get this e.g. privacyguides
I also didn’t know about the privacytools situation. Will absolutely look more into that.
