We will see which one win

Browsers and search engines have been added to the registry.

privacyregistry.eu

It's not easy to find ones that offer good transparency and are privacy-focused. But we try to make this as clear as possible by adding details and controversies that help us rate them.

Librewolf's privacy breakdown and details
Terms of Service (Score: 70 — Confidence: Medium)
Pros:
MPL-2.0 license grants user freedom to use, modify, and distribute.
No registration required. No account means no termination concerns.
Cons:
No formal Terms of Service document.
No legal entity to hold accountable for service quality or privacy guarantees.
No user guarantees, service level agreements, or dispute resolution.
Librewolf's controversies
The most frequently cited concern is LibreWolf's lack of built-in automatic updates. Users must rely on package managers
or manually update. On Windows, a separate “LibreWolf WinUpdater” package is offered. Security patches from Firefox
may be delayed if users do not promptly update, though updates usually arrive within three days of each upstream Firefox
stable release, sometimes same-day. [1]
LibreWolf disables Google Safe Browsing, citing censorship concerns and the practical issue that Safe Browsing requires a
Google developer key at build time. Mozilla's implementation is acknowledged as privacy-respecting, so disabling it
represents a genuine security trade-off. [2]
LibreWolf is not recommended by Privacy Guides, primarily due to the auto-update concern and the small team size.
Privacy Guides prefers browsers with robust auto-update mechanisms to ensure users receive security patches promptly.

One of the best features of privacyregistry.eu is to provide a privacy grade to European products.

We help users to find the best tool to protect their personal data.

I use 1984.hosting to host my personal project. It is a privacy-oriented, European cloud provider.

And it has just joined privacyregistry.eu/tools/1984-

Found this incredible cheatsheet on bluesky (credits at the bottom)

The last few days, I’ve been working on privacyregistry.eu. I want to do my part of promoting European and privacy-oriented tech products.

@Tutanota sometimes a one-purpose product is the best

At work, they sent out a memo saying that as a developer, if you're still writing lines of code, you're doing something wrong.

I agree with that: either you adapt or you die.

I'm riding this wave but I also know the wave has an end.

Hero Banner of Privacy Registry that says Reclaim Your Digital Privacy - "Discover privacy-respecting European alternatives to Big Tech. Your data stays yours, protected by the world's strongest privacy laws."Page header of Plausible Analytics on Privacy Registry that says "Lightweight, privacy-friendly web analytics from the EU" with a Privacy Grade set to ATechnical Details of Plausible Analytics on Privacy Registry with:
- API: Available (excellent)
- Self-Hosting: easy setup
- License: AGPL-3.0

Here's what could make a European tech directory work:

- Migration guides that solve the real friction
- Verified reviews from people
- Privacy scoring based on real details
- Developer-first infos

@ikklegemzuniverseplus yeah I prefer the Standard notes UI compared to notesnook

@ikklegemzuniverseplus not yet, is it what you use?

I like Standard Notes for their E2EE but it is now owned by Proton. Nothing wrong with Proton but I already have my emails there, do not put your eggs in the same basket

Is there any good alternative?
