Privacy first, but there is a file uploader? WTF?
They promise the file never leaves my device, but is there any way to verify it?
The official website is https://bentopdf.com/ not what’s on the link.
what is this “organization” anyway? Looks pretty sussy
How does compare to SterlingPDF? Any reason to migrate (selfhosted)?
Yes. Completely open source (not open core) and every action happens in-browser. With Stirling, you send the doc to the server.
Also, Stirling had long-winded whining about their tracking pixel, Bento initially had something similar (but more privacy-friendly) and when asked about it immediately removed it without fuss.
Why is it so hard to find a link to a github page? Is it even https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf ? Also, the official website is https://bentopdf.com/ , not what the OP posted.
Yes, your links are both correct.
If I’m hosting Stirling myself, I don’t mind it being sent to the server obviously. Being fully open source of course is a big plus.
