Thanks for the feedback !

I don't really get the usecase for this list. There are privacy-friendly apps such as Signal and Newpipe together with half of the Google Suite. It's an either-or decision, so why include both?
This app wasn't intended for people who search privacy but only for people who want the "best" software And there are already list for privacy... so i don't need to confuse people
