I commend you for compiling all of the resources. I would like to point out that your choice of Ubuntu linux is deficient. If one was concerned about privacy the choices that come to mind are tails/whonix. Debian and OpenBSD both respect privacy
I really appreciate the resources provided. But I'm not a fan of the website suggesting that I want/need privacy because I have something to hide.
A better phrase could have been, "we, as a society, have things to hide from companies and government", but it was too long :)

There is the TL;DR on top.
The idea here is if you need privacy right now, use Tails. And then for yor day to day life, here are the steps.
I've been lurking around watching this project grow but never actually went to a meeting. So I'm kind of a spy. :P Nice work. Congratulations.
Neat site. I like the presentation of talking points. My question, though, is how does this differ from other similar sites such as privacytools.io? How do I reconcile the privacy tools listed there with the ones listed here? Most of them are different. Ultimately, whose recommendations should I trust?
And thanks for privacytools.io, I wasn't aware of!
We want to spread the word that people should protect themself. Once we manage to convince, people are like "Ok, but what now?" You'll probably answer: "Well, you have to quit facebook, start using linux and have your server at home". And the person will be overwhlmed and just say "it's too complicated."
We try to offer a gamified way: "Here is the first step, and it will take you 5mins of your time!" Then people feel they are on the way to get better at protecting their privacy.
And if you feel we don't recommend the right one, please get in touch, we'd love to collaborate to make it better!
First time I'm hearing about Disconnect. Is it really all it's hacked up to be? On first glance to me, they have a pretty package but I feel like in practice they are just as furtive as Ghostery is with the promise of blocking all the bad shit.
Nice site too btw. Great presentation for those looking to make a change with their habits.
Oh great!

Oh great! That really helps to drive the message.
Has uBlock reached "just werks" status (not referring to ease of installation)? It was still really unwieldy in terms of what it blocked/didn't block last time I tried it out when there was a thread on it. First time I'm hearing about Disconnect.

"A website that wants you to understand that you're being tracked everywhere on the internet" Oh great! piwik script in source code Oh great! That really helps to drive the message.
