I will definitely donate to:
- The Qubes OS Project
- Whonix
- Tails
- GrapheneOS
- Tor Project
- Mullvad
- SearXNG
- uBlock Origin
- KeePassXC
- SimpleX
- Electronic Frontier Foundation
I will most likely donate to:
I may donate to:
I may add more as I think of them. Please leave your ideas!
Which of these are tax deductible in the EU? In the US? Making the surveillance states lose out on some tax that funds their schemes, to pay developers trying to make our privacy more attainable is great.
