No, but involved different communities when creating it and some people made the move only to be told about Brave's CEO history, then regretted it. Added the note so people can be informed one way or the other. Also, the thread linked gives an excellent opportunity for someone to get both sides of some of their controversies that have been shared with Brendan directly addressing each one in the comments.

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.

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.

I had enough of big tech and their actions, so created this guide to make switching as easy as possible (lemmy.ml)

I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!
