I don’t really think Trustpilot is a good place to get info, a la Yelp.
I can vouch for Njalla as one of the more privacy respecting providers(they require zero personal info and allow you to pay in crypto). Other providers said a .gg domain requires WHOIS data to be published, Njalla didn’t give a shit and gave me WHOIS privacy anyway. Even their name servers spell out “you can get no info”. Also, Pirate Bay uses them lmao
Downsides would be being billed in euro, higher cost, and they require you to pay into your account then they use your account “credit” to pay for your domains, but remember, they operate in “cash”. They don’t know you and they don’t know your card info, so they can’t just bill your card when your renewal comes up.
For privacy and overall service they get a 10/10 from me. Porkbun is cheaper if you’re not paranoid.

Hard disagree on that, I’ve found it invaluable as a tool for assessing the safety of a company. Sure you’re going to get some idiots who simply don’t know how to use the tool and go online to bitch about it, but if you’re seeing a significant number of people making the same complaints about support or having domains withdrawn from them, it certainly makes me suspicious.
Thank you for your reply though, it’s good to hear that some people are having success. My understanding from the reading I’ve done online is that they used to be a lot better but have fallen in quality over the last 2 years.
Porkbun if you’re cheap and Njalla if you’re paranoid. Cloudflare if you do things that other registrars can’t do.
Have you used Njalla? I was considering them recently, but these reviews gave me serious pause:
