A guy named Jonah accidentally built the most useful website on the internet. It's called Privacy Guides. This is the website Google would rather you not find, Meta actively lobbies against, data brokers have tried to discredit for years, and the entire advertising industry treats as a direct threat to their business model. It has been online since 2019. It takes no affiliate money. It runs no ads. Journalists cite it. Security researchers trust it. Here's how it works. Privacy Guides is a curated recommendation list. The site itself sells nothing. It just tells you which private tool actually replaces every surveillance product in your life, tested by security researchers and updated every month, organized into 40+ categories with the exact reason each pick was chosen. → Browsers that block trackers and ads by default → Email providers that cannot read your messages → Search engines that do not build a profile on you → Password managers you can self-host → VPNs that accept cash and Monero and log nothing → Messengers with end-to-end encryption Signal-tier or better → Photo apps that do not scan your camera roll → Health apps that do not sell your data to insurance companies → A custom Android OS called GrapheneOS that strips Google out of your phone entirely The site is run by a non-profit called MAGIC Grants. Every recommendation goes through a public forum review, a GitHub pull request, and criteria published on the site so anyone can audit why a tool was chosen. No company can pay to be listed. No affiliate link exists on the entire domain. Google can't shut this down. Meta can't shut this down. Amazon can't shut this down. The entire $600 billion surveillance advertising industry is built on the assumption that you would never spend one afternoon on this website. privacyguides.org/en/tools/
