New comment by lucideer in "Show HN: No More Google, privacy-friendly alternatives to Google products"

I haven't done due diligence and checked each one, so maybe I'm been overly pessimistic, but some choice entries that I very seriously doubt don't track you: Dailymotion, Wordpress, Dropbox, Skyscanner, Here.com... I could go on. Mapbox for example definitely track you, but do provide an opt-out in their API, so some would describe that as "more" privacy friendly. Others may do similar.

This seems more like a list of alternatives to Google (which is still incredibly valuable), rather than a list of privacy-friendly alternatives.

That's still great though: I'm still happier to have some choice in who tracks me even if all alternatives do.
