      I mean, they clearly care, they do run privacy guides and some other stuff and that one comment doesn’t really prove otherwise. But they are a weird bunch with what tools they allow and what posts. I lost respect for them when they allowed a post to stay up claiming vivaldi is “worse than edge” for privacy.

        I don’t respect any “privacy” organization that promotes proprietary software or is actively hostile to the Libre software movement.

          Vivaldi and Edge are closed source internet browsers and similar as far as privacy goes.

          I’m sorry, this is just not true, just look at their privacy policies. They are not even in the same league.

          That aside, the owner has said he plans to take it to court. Maybe we will finally know what happened.
