Reading about your setup I do agree with you. One shoe must not fit all, totally fine with us. My goal was not to convince you, but to provide explainers and pointers to your input.

Now generally speaking, I acknowledge I responded with technical inaccuracies. The sentence with VPNs and browsers should have been left out.
I normally tend to BS check technical stuff with Daniel, but did not want to ping him in his vacation because of a HN response. However, I should have disclaimed I am not a Portmaster dev or networking expert. I come from a web development background.

I am certain I know less than you in this field. Thankfully Safing does not rely on my skills in that area.
I do however strongly push the docs, through which I want to bridge the gap between the high level claims on our website and the source code. If you are willing to contribute, I am happy to receive a write up of yours about the things you feel are missing. It can be technical and beyond my expertise, since I would discuss it with Daniel anyway and see how to best proceed.
