Directory of ad-blocking, privacy, DNS, and content-filter lists for different tools.
Directory
Privacy & Security
Privacy and Security covers tools and guides for keeping personal data out of the wrong hands. Ad blocking and tracking protection covers blockers, DNS filters, and browser privacy settings. Email privacy lists encrypted mail providers and clients, and VPN clients and self-hosting covers tunnels and the software to run your own. Linux and macOS privacy collects hardening guides and tools for those systems, and mobile privacy and security does the same for phones. Privacy guides and resources gathers explainers, comparison tables, and checklists from established projects. The category sits next to Cybersecurity in this directory, and the two overlap in places. The split here is that this one is about personal data and everyday devices, and no listing is independently audited by us.
