My website has grown to 20 categories.

Please check it out. Which important categories and alternatives are missing? What should be removed again?

(I've noted earlier feedback to consider removing Proton, Brave, Signal. Which I will try to address by next month.)

I've added the controversial topic of AI chatbots. While I think there can't be truly sustainable options, I think it makes a difference whether you enter your prompts on privacy-threatening, intentionally biased and military supporting providers or with providers who adhere to rules regarding fair use of AI and privacy.

Lumping proton and signal in with brave seems a bit mad, brave was caught hijacking affiliate links and their ceo actively donates to right-wing causes, proton's ceo just... made a couple of tweets that didn't criticise trump enough? And what's signal's fault, just not being decentralised? It's nice to be an idealist but the average person isn't going to be compiling and self-hosting their own foss solutions. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good and all that!
