I created a guide/website that helps beginners discover and switch to privacy-focused tools (privacy.purchasewithpurpose.io)

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.

Nice work! Are the icons of mainstream options (gmail etc) intended to eventually be links to something? If not it might make sense to remove the hover/pointy cursor
