I wonder about the ranking for the 'Communication' category. Somehow there are protocols, clients and services mixed up. To give an example of each:
- Service: Jabber.org
- Protocol: OMEMO
- Software: Gajim
Next, the score seems to be a similar mix up, not so much focused on security but more as a general recommendation as a trade off between number of features and overall security. To me that feels like a bad advise. That way, a very respectable and stable app like Conversations is listed below the protocol it uses (OMEMO) and even below Tox which is officially listed as experimental, just because conversations doesn't support audio or video telephony.
Other privacy related aspects, like the need to register a phone number to use the service, automatic contact list uploads or custom servers, are completely ignored.
