No, things can be objectively not private. If a tool doesn’t give you the option to use it privately, then we do not consider it to be a privacy-respecting tool.
You can certainly exercise your right to use tools which aren’t privacy-respecting, if you don’t care about that loss of your right in that specific context, but such tools still have no place in our recommendations.
Identifying the threats that tools defend against best is probably a good idea, and was the original intent yes. I haven’t figured out what it should look like if a tool applies to more than 1-2 of those on that list though.
I feel like listing 8 different icons next to some tools could quickly get unwieldy, and cause more information overload (which is already a small problem for the site).
If anyone has a good design idea for how to handle this, please share
