Why do they add that warning in bold about NewPipe sharing your IP with YouTube but don't add it for the other clients? That's an obvious thing, any YouTube client you use will share your IP with YouTube unless you are hiding behind a proxy or VPN, that's how internet works.<p>RedReader for reddit is missing, though it is a bit obscure but the programmers are privacy conscious and the client doesn't include any kind of telemetry as far as I know.
I would recommend adding as a preamble a bit more on the specifics you care about. Reading through it seems like general analytics trackers are something you're trying to avoid, in addition to avoiding a few companies in particular. Spelling those out may help folks understand what drives your recommendations and conclusions here.<p>Otherwise in-section descriptions are great. Thanks for compiling.

Great list! Always looking for new tools to use. PrivacyTool.io and ThinkPrivacy.ch are great, but it helps to have something else to compare against.<p>Some quick notes on the actual list:
- Should add Startpage - private search engine that gives Google results.
- It doesn't explain why products to be avoided, just lists them. A few have explanations, but not all.
im new to this. why is safari not listed as an iOS browser that respects privacy? is it that it lets 1st party cookies exist? the browser itself i thought was not used for any data harvesting or the like right? also ITP?
Very useful list, and well organized. I’ll be sharing this with family, friends, and coworkers. The payment section seems a bit thin, since it offers up only cash (as in paper money) and Monero as options. Are there no centralized providers that respect privacy by simply operating in certain countries?<p>It would also be interesting to have this entire list ranked or tagged for resistance to censorship or deplatforming.
I would add Apache Guacamole[1] to Remote Access and Control section. Nice thing about Guacamole is that a web browser can be the client, so you don't need to install anything on the client side most of the time.<p>And it's a bit sad that BSDs don't get a mention in the OS section..<p>[1]: <a href="https://guacamole.apache.org" rel="nofollow">https://guacamole.apache.org</a>
I am just curious because I do photography as a hobby/semi-pro and I don't understand where using Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator/Lightroom is infringing on your privacy (PC/Mac). I also use VSCO plugins for Lightroom at times (I mainly switched to Capture 1 Pro though) and I'm unsure why I should avoid them.
AFAIK you <i>can</i> export from Google Authenticator. May be a relatively new feature though.<p><a href="https://lifehacker.com/how-to-move-google-authenticator-to-a-new-iphone-1845807704" rel="nofollow">https://lifehacker.com/how-to-move-google-authenticator-to-a...</a>
I am very much wondering why it is that if i go on a public instance of invidious all videos shown are from my personal preferences... shouldn't this be random?<p>Seems like YT is reading cookies or mapping the IP anyways...
