My name is Tom and I develop https://www.etesync.com .
I recently got a complaint by a user saying that the main EteSync website is showing as B in this extension, even though it does no user tracking, and is very privacy friendly (and oriented). The reason for that was the lack of a ToS;DR entry. I think this is a bit extreme to mark a site as non-privacy friendly based on a database that includes less than 0.0000001% of the websites in existence.
I think this should be softened to show A, and maybe ones with great ToS show A+.
EteSync is a service, so obviously it should be on ToS;DR. But what about my personal blog? I don't have any trackers there, and I'll never be on ToS;DR, will I always be penalised?
EteSync has since been added (about a week ago, see etesync/etesync-web#7), though this change is still doesn't show in the extension, which was updated after. Are you taking the old ToS;DR db or using the new one?
Another issue I came across (I'm not sure how this will behave, but sounds like it would be a problem) is related URLs. If my service's main website is www.etesync.com, what will happen with client.etesync.com, and other subdomains? Is there a hard-coded list? Because I didn't see one in ToS;DR. Could be a concern if a company is offering different services under different terms.
In essence, I'd like to ask you to soften the impact of a lack of ToS;DR until all of the issues above are solved. At the moment, as a user, I just can't trust the rating (unless it's a big negative one), and as a developer, I'm feeling the impact of these issues.
I understand and applaud what you are trying to do, but I think that without the above, it's causing more harm than good, and probably will reduce user's trust in the long term.
