Is there a rundown of privacy frontend instances? Which ones are the most private? (lemmy.ml)

I'm looking for ones that ideally don't log IP. Is there a guide somewhere that looks into each of these instances and whether or not they fulfill the privacy promise?

I'm most interested in Invidious.

there is no way to verify they don't actually log anything

Eh. You can inspect the source code. Certainly there's no way to verify they haven't modified the source code but also why would they modify it to store your IP?

The source code of the frontend is unrelated to the webserver they use, which can absolutely store your IP.
