I’m currently on the lookout for privacy-respecting domain registrars. What are you guys using and why?
Edit: I’ve registered my domain with Porkbun. I got a really cool one, it’s called reallyaweso.me!

I would also say this. Njalla is good
Njalla doesn’t seem to be a good option according to this comment on a privacy-focused forum.
Interestingly that is why I chose them like 5 years ago as I figured that is a plus as far as privacy is concerned. Having 1337 show up when performing a domain owner lookup instead of my name seem like a good thing and if I need it to be registered to me it’s easy enough to transfer.
I love the service though and brokep being involved makes them worth considering for anyone into privacy.
Njalla was founded and is ran by Peter Sundee, aka brokep, of Pirate Bay fame… If there’s anyone you can trust …
njal.la is without a doubt one of the better ones if privacy is number one priority.
