    I didn’t suggest F-Droid for inclusion though. I merely used its applicable terminology.

    My bad, I understand now.

    Because it’s security focused, it includes app stores that are good for their security (regardless of privacy). Other app stores, such as F-Droid, have security issues that Accrescent and the Google Play Store don’t share. This topic has been argued to death countless times before, and I don’t want to start a flame war, but do try researching it and see what comes up.




  • I do not agree with placing switzerland over sweden in that location category

    I’d be happy to hear your elaboration on this. From what I know, Switzerland is seen as the gold standard in terms of privacy.

    and i think a category should included, that tracks age of vpn or something like that

    The issue is that age doesn’t correlate with security. There could be an outdated, insecure VPN that’s been around for 10 years, or a modern, secure VPN that’s been around for 10 days. If I included it, there would be no “good” or “bad” values. Nevertheless, I will include this in version 2.0.

    (and just for someone curiouse, it should be mentioned that nymvpn does use mullvad servers/ has a deal with mullvad)

    I knew NymVPN used a small bit of Mullvad VPN’s code, but I didn’t know they used their servers. Could you link to this?
