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!

lib.reviews is a FOSS site for reviewing just about anything.
Not exactly what you’re looking for but https://tosdr.org is a good resource
Looks great, thanks for sharing! Added to the list
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…
I would trust a Reddit hobbyist with a few years of experience over some websites. After all, the knowledge that certain VPN companies are more questionable than others needs to descend from somewhere, right?
You mentioned a (completely correct) reason to question a website, but that knowledge needs to come from somewhere for most people.
This link works instead of the one OP sent, seems like a server issue from Mozilla right now?

Thanks for this link, updated link in post!
The site seems to be down
So, for everyone that doesn’t know, in mozilla’s own words:
(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.
Yeah, seems like site is having some issues, I’ve updated link in OP.

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.
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.
Not sure what that means and that site appears to be down
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.
