Most are, most are affiliate link-farms in disguise as well, and privacyguides.org is written in response to such guides.

It is called privacy guides and not security guides for a reason, and many of our basic "recommendations" are geared towards a specific threat model that does not include, for example, being targeted by law enforcement or others with access to zero-day vulnerabilities or similarly targeted exploits. They are geared towards avoiding commercial-grade tracking, especially by corporations, and dragnet mass surveillance programs.

This is why we place so much of an emphasis on threat modeling before suggesting recommendations in the first place though, to make sure readers know exactly when the recommendations apply to them and when they instead need to seek additional resources. We have countless pages within our community forum detailing why and when Chromium is technically superior to Firefox.

This is also why we don't recommend Firefox on mobile devices at all, because while we do feel Firefox on desktop is adequately secure for many people, we don't feel that is the case on Android, unfortunately.

Anyways, thank you for your insight. I will look into making this more clear at a glance.
