I often take the link from the project’s Wikipedia page if it’s big enough to have one.
Also alternativeto.net
Well, actually, anybody can edit Wikipedia and the page updates immediately.
True but I’d hope that there’s still some review for the bigger projects. Of course, it’s possible that a malicious link is inserted right before I go there but it’s still more reliable than just chosing the first result on Google.
