I made a spreadsheet that ranks messengers for privacy (privacyspreadsheet.com)

I've been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.

I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on GitHub.

Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.

I forgot Grindr DMs, but you already know that ones gonna be red all the way down lmao

Pls share with friends if you find it useful, I dont accept donations or anything, and it'll never have ads or bullshit.

I'm working on adding more services, but each one takes about 4 hours to research and review.

Google's bound to put ads on Google sheets eventually.

Its not Google Sheets. It was initially generated with the tool because I like the formatting, but its HTML running on Cloudflare Pages. The source code is here

If you see errors or hwve suggestions, please submit an issue on GitHub, they're easier to track than here

That hardly looks like original source code, but more like a HTML dumped from the website.

Or maybe just use used some visual editor to insert tables? I don't believe it's written by hand.

They said "it was initially generated with the tool [Google Sheets]".
