The 'name and the link are less than a centimeter apart on one's screen. That seems enough to clue in most readers?

Yeah, it's not so subtle. But then again:

> ThatOnePrivacyGuy should use their open source speed test tool instead

Using their instead of our makes it sound like there is no affiliation.

It was mere chance that I noticed it at all. I normally don't (consciously) pay much attention to usernames. "GOOGLE CEO" could reply to me and I probably wouldn't notice it so the disclaimers are a nice addition, IMO.
plus, the OP talks in the third person "should use their serivce", so it is a little misleading.
