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.
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.
