Are there any tools out there to compare Privacy Policies against each other? (slrpnk.net)

Hiya, just quickly wondering if anyone know about a good tool for comparing Privacy policies against each other? Im currently downloading each PP, then using self-hosted StirlingPDF to compare 1 on 1. However, I am looking for a more efficient tool, to compare multiple at the time, if there are any. Any tool that can handle multiple PDFs or HTML files and look at the differences between them kinda tool.

Appreciate any suggestions! 🕵️

Now that I'm at my computer, I was able to find the diff alg I was thinking about: it's histogram.

Here's an issue from gitea about when they changed the default git diff alg to this one: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/23255
And here's an article I have found earlier about some of the available git diff algorithms, and when they are too be used: https://luppeng.wordpress.com/2020/10/10/when-to-use-each-of-the-git-diff-algorithms/
