Seems like a weird and random assortment of items. Why was Google Hangouts mentioned, but not Gmail? What about Discord, Slack, etc? Or smart TVs? Almost felt more like guerrilla advertising for a few niche products.
It's a short fun quiz that's meant to direct your attention to the actual tool (https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded) which has a lot more stuff. The key bit on this page is the summary underneath
You can find the rest of the video call services here: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/categories/video-call-apps/
They have sections for smart home products and entertainment, but no smartTVs yet. Would be a cool category to request
Oh. That's not clear at all; I don't even remember seeing a reference to a tool.
The tool is the site itself, I guess they could have included a link back

It's also on me since I got to the article from the site, so maybe they assumed users would have done the same
Hangouts was an odd choice. Didn't that get shut down recently?
Well, I'll be damned. It's still in the play store.
Is it just for workspaces or something? I would have sworn they shut it down.
I saw discord in there as well as smart TV platforms
Oh interesting; I wonder if the quiz just chooses a random assortment of a big list of tools?
I was thinking the same thing. Apparently I'm "off the grid" because the only thing they listed that I use is telegram
Id guess maybe because Email is inherently insecure?
