Give me European Alternatives
Reply in thread
It is Chromium, however, and not fully Open Source. I recommend Librewolf or Waterfox, open source forks of firefox.

The article barely mentions this, and I haven't seen comments here mentioning it, but a huge factor in determining identities is one's writing style. In fact, analyzing the way people speak and write is its own science (linguistic forensics) and is also used by law enforcement (though can realistically be done by anyone with OSINT and basic understanding of individual linguistic patterns.) Dead giveaways are especially if you consistently misspell a certain word or use a certain emoticon or uncommon phrase or word, it's like a linguistic footprint. If Andy123 on Reddit and XxwhateverxX both spell appearance as appearence and both say booyah and both spell :) as (:, then it is much easier to tell that they may be the same person. This is something that you must be aware of, as well as giving out personal information like country of origin, amount of pets, place of work, etc.

Protect myself from my ISP?
A VPN? That routes the traffic to the other server, so the ISP can only see you're connecting to a VPN. Most people recommend Mullvad, I personally use Proton and Windscribe, both free, open source, and trusted.

I'm running Linux on my MacBook but I haven't noticed a performance boost
Open up a VM and run Red Star OS, that should be a lot faster than Ubuntu

Proton has ties to Israel. What's a safe alternative?
Having exit nodes for their VPN is not the same as collaborating with the government. There is no evidence that the Israeli government has access to any of their information, their servers are hosted in Switzerland.

An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification
Literally how can they enforce this on Linux? It's open-source, people just won't choose those versions or edit that out of the code.

Should I subscribe to a data removal service (DeleteMe, Incogni, etc.)?
No, I would never trust them. General rule of thumb: don't trust Youtube advertisements. They seem very sketchy to me. Why would these companies and data brokers willingly delete your data by just asking? Not to mention that it would instantly resurface in a million other areas. The best thing to do is to instead not give out that information in general, or not make it obvious who you are.

My quest to embrace European tech has improved my life
I can relate. I've been on a privacy journey for months now, and I am constantly amazed at the quality of FREE and open source alternatives (many of them often come from Europe, so before I focused on European tech, I was already using a lot). You can have a better time and also have significantly better privacy for free, which I think has wonderful, and has made me feel much better and made browsing the internet a better experience.
