> [!IMPORTANT]
> Anonymity, Privacy, and Security are often used interchangeably, but they actually represent distinct concepts. It is important to understand the differences between them. [Read more in this section below](#privacy-vs-security-vs-anonymity).
> 
> The primary focus of this list is to provide alternatives that prioritize privacy. These alternatives give you control over your data and do not collect or sell it.
