SPA Tools Changelog

v2026.07

Released: July 20, 2026

This release is simple: the SPA tools work for more people. Here's what changed.

Now it works for everyone (Yay Accessibility!)

If you navigate the web with a keyboard or a screen reader, the VPN Finder's comparison tool was previously quite tricky to navigate...it had no way to pick VPNs, sort the table, or open a comparison at all for these individuals.

So I'm happy to say it was rebuilt with accessibility in mind 🙏 The whole VPN Finder and the SPA site's menus should work fully by keyboard and screen reader. If any ways to improve further are found, just let us know!

The wiki has a new home

The Techlore Wiki is now part of the main site, under Guides at techlore.tech/tag/guides. Every article came with it, every old link redirects on its own, and there's nothing you need to do.

I understand the Wiki was a brand new launch, but it wasn't getting found on its own. Many of you were arriving from our other tools, not through search. So I decided the best move to keep it easy to maintain was to migrate them back to a hosted service (Ghost) and avoid unnecessary complexity on the hosting side of things.

Also in this release

• 7 new VPNs and dozens of community-sourced corrections in the VPN Finder, plus a new "Browser Extension" column with clearer ownership info. Thank you to all the contributors who submitted data, especially: Sebastian, Ali, Nik, Jacopo 
• A new Cellular Providers category in the Tools hub.
• Smarter quiz results that drop you straight into the recommendations that fit you.
• A stack of security, reliability, and accessibility fixes under the hood.

v2026.06

Released: June 01, 2026

Your Privacy Journey Made Easy

Four tools. One path. From "I don't know where to start" to a setup that's genuinely yours.

You finally decided you're finally going to take this seriously. You open a search, and within minutes you're buried...twenty browser tabs, a dozen threads contradicting each other, a "top VPN" list that turns out to be a storefront, and a slow, sinking feeling that everyone else already figured this out and you're hopelessly behind.

So you close the tabs. Maybe next month. At least that's how I felt when I started on the journey, so I wanted to change it!

I built the SPA Ecosystem to make sure there is no next month, because the path starts right now with no friction. Four tools, designed to hand you from one to the next. Here's what each one does for you.

SPA Quiz: Stop Guessing What You Need

"It depends on your threat model." - The SPA Quiz helps you answer this age-old riddle. You answer questions about your actual life and it give you an archetype: a clear picture of what matters most for someone like you. Then it scores your current habits against that profile, so you can see exactly where you're solid and where the gaps are.

And the result is a private link that's yours to keep. Bookmark it, act on it, and come back to watch your score climb as your setup gets stronger. Your privacy stops being a vague anxiety and becomes something you can actually see, measure, and improve.

SPA Tools: Find What You Need in a Few Clicks

Knowing what you need is half the battle. Finding it is the other half.

SPA Tools just got dramatically more capable. We've added a wave of new services and providers across every category, and built an entirely new filtering system on top of them. Dial in what matters to you and filter by your quiz archetype, so the tools that fit your life rise straight to the top.

No more endless scrolling. No more forty open tabs. A few clicks, and you're looking at precisely the browsers, messengers, password managers, and operating systems that make sense for you.

SPA Wiki: Understand the Why

Launching today with nearly four hours of original, written content, the Wiki explains the concepts beneath every recommendation...what a threat model really is, why metadata matters, how encryption actually protects you, all in plain language that respects your intelligence without assuming you have a degree in security. And it has a lot of practical, personal commentary from yours truly (Henry 👋)

And this is just the beginning. The Wiki is built to grow, with new articles landing regularly from here.

VPN Finder: The Most Powerful VPN Comparison on the Internet

The VPN market runs on noise. We're trying to build the antidote.

VPN Finder lets you put up to four providers head-to-head at once on desktop and weigh what actually matters, like jurisdiction, audit history, logging, real technical specs. All side by side, in a single glance, with none of the marketing in the way.

But this release includes something massive: you can now submit and update provider data directly on the site. No GitHub. No pull requests. No technical barrier of any kind. You all in the community that keep this comparison rigorous can now contribute in seconds, which means the most detailed, current VPN comparison anywhere only gets stronger from here...thanks to each and every one of you who helped get it this far!

Four tools, One Journey

Here's how it all comes together:

Take the Quiz to discover your archetype. Carry it into SPA Tools, where that same archetype filters the best tools for you. Weighing VPNs? The VPN Finder puts your top contenders side by side until the right choice is obvious. And any time you want to understand why, the Wiki is right there waiting.

Each tool makes the next one smarter. Together, they turn the most overwhelming parts of digital rights into a unified ecosystem.
