Slowly beginning to use European alternatives for the following. See the list below.
I figured it was a good start to all the new ones around here:
Google -> Qwant
Apple Music -> Qobuz
ChatGPT -> Me Chat
Twitter/X -> Mastodon
And of course:
Reddit -> Lemmy
I will update this list as I continue 👌🏼
Which European search engine is best for privacy?
@farcaster Qwant.
I sure hope it’s not or we’re in trouble : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwant#Controversies
So what’s the alternative you suggest then? We’re being fucked on all fronts, privacy doesn’t exist by this point.
I don’t think there’s an ideal alternative, I personnally use Startpage right now cause Qwant was removed from the latest Ironfox update.
I just wanted to point out Qwant had its fair share of privacy issues.
Startpage is American based
"By maintaining its headquarters and operations in the Netherlands, Startpage continues to be protected by Dutch and European Union (EU) privacy laws’
🤔
In case you understand German, there is this discussion: https://feddit.org/post/8948253.
