The legitimacy of EasyOptOuts

I’ve seen EasyOptOuts mentioned on the Reddit, forum, and the recommendations page, but I haven’t seen any kind of verification that it keeps its promises.
Also, I’ve seen Mozilla Monitor Plus mentioned here. How does that compare as an alternative?

I think its recently populairty came from the tests from ConsumerReports where they scored second best (only optery had a better score) while being like one tenth of the price of optery.

Is it known what got it greenlit to be on the official recommendations page?

I tested all of these services, and then cross-checked that with reviews and Consumer Reports’ report as mentioned above.

We also did a more extensive test afterward which ended a few months ago, but we only wrote up the final article and published it today, so here you go: EasyOptOuts Review & Real-World Test - Privacy Guides

Mozilla Monitor Plus is not an independent service, but a white-labeled version of OneRep.

OneRep has notable controversy surrounding them that would make me avoid recommending them.
