I’ve been working hard on the privacy spreadsheet, which has been in development for over 150 hours now. Its been updated, and now includes more messaging apps and more data, with a better format. I’m still working on the sidebar issue, if anyone knows how to fix it, here’s the GitHub repo: https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com

I’m aiming to make this the most valuable resource for privacy, beyond messaging as well, but one thing at a time.

https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com/blob/main/datasets/Privacy Spreadsheet.xlsx ? Is this built on Microsoft Office using some kind of export feature?

Is there no Google Sheets alternative that would allow to display it without having to download?

Also, there’s not a lot of value in placing it on GitHub if you can’t even preview the changes of a submitted pull request.

Personally I’d prefer a markdown table that can be exported as a CSV

I can view the site without having to download with the below link. So not sure what you mean?

Edit: this is with Vanadium in incognito, if it matters.

It works like that on Mull too. Maybe it’s a desktop browser issue?

For matrix there is a no for client removes image metadata. Did you check all clients? I would imagine it was client dependent.

No Molly, an independent Signal fork for Android, listing? Among other things, Molly handles data encryption at rest better and also has Tor support…which your spreadsheet doesn’t even list Tor support.

I can understand not wanting to including Molly due to it being only on Android (though I think/hope a lot of privacy enthusiasts run GrapheneOS on Pixels) even though it currently rides the Signal servers so in compatible with other Signal clients, but at least add Tor compatibility, please.
