Update: I made a spreadsheet that ranks messaging apps for privacy (privacyspreadsheet.com)

I've been working hard on the privacy spreadsheet, which has been in development for over 150 hours now. Its been updated, and now includes more messaging apps and more data, with a better format. I'm still working on the sidebar issue, if anyone knows how to fix it, here's the GitHub repo: https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com

I'm aiming to make this the most valuable resource for privacy, beyond messaging as well, but one thing at a time.

No Molly, an independent Signal fork for Android, listing? Among other things, Molly handles data encryption at rest better and also has Tor support...which your spreadsheet doesn't even list Tor support.

I can understand not wanting to including Molly due to it being only on Android (though I think/hope a lot of privacy enthusiasts run GrapheneOS on Pixels) even though it currently rides the Signal servers so in compatible with other Signal clients, but at least add Tor compatibility, please.
