As the author said in the website, saying a platform is open source when you haven't even released the source is nothing but wrong. And that is not the only thing he has done it seems.
~~I personally can't take his apologies seriously after his cocky harassments.~~
Found this out from that subreddit: https://dansup-open-letter.github.io/
~~That's very interesting. It did change my view of dansup.~~

I don't really care about anonymity much. Privacy != Anonymity.
It seems like some people use my searxng instance sometimes. It's not locked after all.

I doubt cromite's devs' knowledge in privacy as they still use Adblock Plus (which has some privacy issues) instead of uBlock Origin.

Well, you seem to be right. The website's points (especially some) are very exaggerated upon a closer look. That also does make me doubt how true it actually is. But as you said, that open source one is real. So I guess I'll just revert my view to how it was before. Noone is perfect after all.
