I mean, in regards to the Browser. Neither Chromium nor Gecko are european, so it kinda boils down to: do you want to support google (then go with vivaldi) or firefox (librewolf, waterfox etc).
Firefox obviously from these two.
sure Vivaldi seems to be the more european choice, yet you will be bum fucked by google.
Why do I never see SearXNG listed? It's FOSS and there's a bunch of different instances hosted in a variety of countries. You can even control what search engines it uses to aggregate its search results.
given that it’s an aggregator, you’d want to ensure it aggregates from EU sources i assume, so it’s not a solution to the EU issue
I suppose, although it's not hard to have it aggregate from EU sources only. I know qwant uses Microsoft services so...
sure, but the solution then isn’t searxng; it’s whatever it’s aggregating from
Ecosia uses google on the backend though.
What about Matrix for communication? Element X is lovely.
Doesn't Matrix have a huge problem with metadata or am I not up to date with this?
I am not aware on the matter tbh.
Threema is much much safer
I haven't tried it. But whatever works works. Each to their own ig
Even thought Vivaldi is european, it's proprietary, so at this point I prefer Cromite if it means using something chromium-based.
