What's in your opinion the best and most private way to register a domain? I was made aware of https://njal.la/ but I'm a bit hesitant

usually naming that "feature" something like "privacy protection" and charging extra for it

Afaik this is standard (you don't pay extra) for european registrars now. They are (in theory) only allowed to give full whois information under specific circumstances. Some enforce this better than others though.

That may well be, it would make sense in light of the GDPR... I haven't dealt with a European Registrar in a long time.
