Cons: Doesn't invite comments/discussions as well as Docs does.
There is a trademark angle to your example, so if DDG has a Trademark argument, they should challenge (although "duck" is pretty broad, so I doubt it). Otherwise, try to snipe the domain like the rest of us.
It also seems a bit odd to rate VPNs on their specific technical merits and features, and then disqualify for their homepage UI or sign up flow. I'd venture most VPN customers would tolerate a lot of ugliness for a truly private, secure, and reliable service. I would.
To be clear, all the generalizations are bad, IMO, but this perspective is new, and I think maybe the least accurate.

Your closing statement is spot on: it's not easy to believe "nothing nefarious is going on". For me, it's not even possible.
Electrocution is death by electric shock (that's the '-cution' part, like execution).
EDIT: After more digging, it looks like it does not, but may in the future. https://github.com/devgeeks/Encryptr/issues/123
My deepest condolences to Sheryl, as well as anyone else who reads this who has lost a loved one. Life is both amazing and delicate, and I think we could all focus a little more on the little things that make all the difference. I know I could.
