@moses_izumi generally their analysis is thin and comes from a cyberlibertarian basis (which is a problem most privacy communities have), which means a lot of their advice is fairly deeply flawed

some examples I picked out last time I skimmed them:

- Proton has their top recommendation across several categories, but it is very easy to compromise your privacy using proton. there’s no analysis of that, nor of proton’s rotten technical and political stances that make the privacy risks worse.

@moses_izumi - Brave similarly has their top recommendation across several other categories, but beyond marketing Brave’s browser and services are not materially more private than most alternatives. there are good reasons to not use Brave: it incorporates a crypto scam and used to alter page data to replace ads with Brave’s own, and Brave is owned by a notorious homophobe. Brave’s reputation is so bad outside of privacy communities that some parts of the small web block it specifically.
