Recommend specific Frontends instances

[Encounter5729]

@seize

The reason i mentioned endorsing maintainers of specific instances as “bad” thing, is because, at least from my view it takes more effort to vet individual maintainers than it does to just do a quick sanity check on the stability and privacy stance of a project.

Secondly, once privacy guides recommends a service/website they are basically endorsing the behavior of that site/service. This applies in the case of front ends imo, because reducing the number of solo maintainers privacy guides must vet/endorse.

I kinda disagree on this though. PG recommends Brave, yet do not endorse Brave’s CEO POV. (See Brave partners with war-crime accused Eric Prince UP phone company)

PG also endorse many one-man project, so I don’t see it as issue here.

I don’t understand what you mean.

@seize

I just want to reiterate that this part of my earlier post was largely based on my knowledge of front ends and opinions on using them. I do not have adiquate insight into the inter workings of privacy guides to determine if a front ends recommendation list will ever be an official thing.

@jonah @dngray what do you think?

@seize

If you do feel strongly enough about making a front ends list; then maintaining and publishing it yourself may be the way to go.

I could but it would be useless because no one would use it.
