Tech Guidlines For Europeans
You must log in or register to comment.
Mistral --> pseudo-open-source
Linux --> not relates to Europe (but amazing choice)
Vivaldi --> only source available
It is not only about being european but also about being digitally sovereign
From Wikipedia of Qwant:
Restructuring
In May 2019, Qwant announced that it would migrate its servers to an infrastructure based on Microsoft Azure, and also keep some of its indexing capacity on its infrastructure.[22]
Not only that, but they base their results almost entirely off of MS Bing.
So idk, but not that european other than data privacy.
Now it is working together with Ecosia on an Europan Search engine
Is using a fork of something really an actual solution? It’s still enabling the dominance of the original corporation.
I dunno, maybe it is, but it sure doesn’t seem like it to me
You mean Vivaldi?
In specific for this, yes. But also in general
I’ve been using Vivaldi more and more. Been aware of it for years, even used it back in beta. It’s almost too kustomizable. It boarders on being an OS with how much is built in.
Vivaldi is based on Chromium. When Google kills manifest v2 in a few months, Vivaldi will be forced to follow. They can’t maintain a full fork. So, no more uBlock in Vivaldi.
I’ve been meaning to do more testing with it’s built in blocking. Guess we’ll have to see when the time comes.
I wish that Vivaldi was open source and not proprietary.
I agree, but knowing it’s from Norway makes me feel more comfortable with the idea of using it than if it was made in the US…. (And I’m American…)
both Qwant and Ecosia are working with Microsoft. Not so European.
Monocles is SearX, which basically is boogle, bing &c behind a shroud. Like Leta also is.
Mojeek is the only “European” alternative, it seems
if I recall right Ecosia and Qwant joining together to build a new Search Engine without the use of Bing and Google
+1 for Mojeek. I use it on a daily basis.
