criteria - Think Privacy

General Guidelines

We apply these priorities when considering new recommendations:

Private: Tools should prioritize privacy first. Not selling, sharing, or storing unnecessary user data.
Secure: Tools should follow security best-practices wherever applicable.
Cross-Platform: Tools should be available on as many platforms, including Linux, as possible.
Active Development: Tools that we recommend should be actively developed, unmaintained projects will be removed in most cases.
Usability: Tools should be accessible to most computer users, an overly technical background should not be required.
Encryption: If encryption is offered, it should be on by default and not left to the user to activate.
