Fix some typos, grammar, etc., and add details (#1418)
* Fix some typos, grammar, etc. on the site
Fixes some issues with typos, capitalization, grammar, and et cetera.
* Fix typo, grammar, etc. in repository
* Update README.md
Mention Discourse community earlier, add missing period
* Update CONTRIBUTING.md
i.e. is used for equivalence or clarification while e.g. is for
examples. For instance, we shouldn't say that IMAP is equivalent or an
explanation to all open-source software used to access email (e.g.
there's POP3, open-source clients to access when there isn't IMAP such
as Tutanota, etc.).
We also shouldn't call IMAP open-source software since it's a protocol.
* Change "socially motivated
* Apply suggestions from code review

- More parallel sentence structures, following <Name> <Verb phrase>
for the first sentence of cards. Related to issue #1420.
- Make Njalla parallel to the others, and mention Njalla

- Don't use "us" when talking about external services
- Orange Website also provides domain registration
- Update capitalization and add more hyphens
- Mention that TOS;DR evaluations are done by the community and that
they also evaluate privacy policies (see https://edit.tosdr.org/about)
- "E2EE encryption" is redundant since "E2EE" already has "encryption"
in it. Might as well expand it since full term is used later on.

< p > WebRTC cannot be fully disabled in Chrome; however, it is possible to change its routing settings (and prevent leaks) using an extension. Two open-source solutions include < a href = "https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrtc-leak-prevent/eiadekoaikejlgdbkbdfeijglgfdalml" > WebRTC Leak Prevent< / a > (options may need to be changed depending on the scenario), and < a href = "https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm" > uBlock Origin< / a > (select "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses" in Settings).< / p >

< p > Chrome on iOS, Internet Explorer and Safari does not implement WebRTC yet. < a href = "#browser" > < i class = "fas fa-link" > < / i > But we recommend using Firefox on all devices.< / a > < / p >
