Creator here - thanks for bringing this up. I was concerned about the message here as well. I'm not getting paid for that ad. I had a couple companies offer sponsorship of this list, but I decided to not pursue. In the end, 1Password simply offered this discount to visitors. For me this felt like the best thing I could do from a user experience point of view (switching to a password manager is hard for most people, and giving the extra nudge to do something really important for their online security might just do the trick) and from an ethical point of view (I'm not getting paid, and will continue adding competing password managers to the list).
How do lesser known all-in-one password managers like BitWarden compare to the more mainstream options? I specifically picked them when migrating from KeePass because I liked that they were open source and that I could create my server instance if I wanted.
And already on the live site. Impressive. I've already changed a few things on my Ubuntu laptop thanks to your checklist. I'm going to pass this around to friends and family.
I thought about buying privacycheckli.st at the same time and pointing it here, but ended up deciding that "security" feels like a broader umbrella and might reasonable capture privacy concerns of an average person.
