This looks really nice - There are browser extensions to do a lot of these things, but those don't work on iPhone, so having a native app is a nice touch.

I also appreciate that they know they're selling to a privacy-conscious audience, so they go over the top in assuring that it's all done client side!

Very nice so far.

I like it on first impression but I wonder whether tools like this will convince people they have privacy, when really they are getting a better interface to semi-privacy settings in existing privacy invasive apps.

I really like the idea of the app because it lowers the barriers to entry for an entire set of people who otherwise might not take the necessary steps to increase their privacy.

These are baby steps for sure, but maybe one day all these people will be ditching google for duckduckgo and protonmail, etc.

Absolutely, I’ve designed the product so that my mom can use it. She can’t use a Chrome extension, but she can download an app like Jumbo.
