I think it could be a great asset to Privacy Guides if the recommendations concisely specified why exactly these projects/products are recommended. Because the answer is often/mostly uniform, I think simple icons would serve this purpose elegantly. One could hover over or click on the icon for an explanation of the symbol’s meaning and perhaps details specific to the particular recommendation you are looking at.  
For example:  
e2e: communication is end to end encrypted  
radio symbol with a strikethrough circle: doesn’t connect to the internet (unlike popular alternatives)  
IP with a strikethrough circle: doesn’t expose your IP adress  
cloud with a strikethrough circle: doesn’t store things in the cloud (unlike popular competitors)  
grasping hand with a strikethrough circle: doesn’t collect more information than the legal minimum  
dollar with a strikethrough circle: doesn’t sell your information

First of all, sorry for the necropost :sweat_smile:

Thank you for your suggestion! I think your idea might be similar to the one proposed in another thread: [Implement Threat Model Labels](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/implement-threat-model-labels/18659)

We have a preview for the threat model labels that you might want to check out:

>
> Update: With the latest [release](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/2024-08-19/20197) of the site, the threat model labels are now live. As stated by Jonah in a previous comment, the main goal of this feature is as follows: Keep in mind that the labels are not on all tool recommendation pages yet because we want to gauge the community response to it and improve on it if needed. Update: The labels are now on all tool recommendation pages. We appreciate any feedback or suggestions! Thank you! play_button Outdated

Often we see e2ee as a requirement we have to be carefil making icons for all those things as it polutes the website a bit and e2ee should be a hard requirement in most cases.
