## Alternatives

| Google Service | Alternative | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| Google Search  | DuckDuckGo  | Privacy-focused search engine |
| Gmail          | ProtonMail  | Encrypted email service |
| Google Drive   | Nextcloud   | Self-hosted cloud storage |

Both repositories aim to provide privacy-focused alternatives to popular services, but they differ in their approach and scope. privacytools.io offers a broader range of privacy tools and educational content, while degoogle focuses specifically on replacing Google products with privacy-friendly alternatives.

Code Comparison

While both repositories primarily consist of markdown files, personal-security-checklist includes a JavaScript file for generating the README:

personal-security-checklist:

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

const generateReadme = () => {
  // Code to generate README content
};

privacytools.io:

</section>

Both repositories use markdown extensively for content, but privacytools.io includes HTML for its website structure.
