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.

Even if the alternative is not perfect, you're still supporting competition. That matters. I read the Trump hype and started moving to Proton anyways, until something better came up later. The issue is that you remove power from one entity, and give it to another with hopes of it not being so concentrated. Even if they aggregate data with google, the effort to do that costs money, and that's a good thing. Reduce their cash flow as much as possible.
