FlightAware was less skeezy before they were bought by L3 Harris. I'm not in this hobby to help out defense contractors.

ADSBx are still far worse, since they built the site as an "open community".

Your remark about FlightAware being owned by L3 Harris piqued my interest since I was not aware of this. I took a look at their About section and it seems they are actually owned by Collins Aerospace a subsidiary of Raytheon. Does not change your point but just a small correction and I also learned something new.

I prefer RadarBox. They are an independent company. And we have a community of feeders on WhatsApps and Telegram.
