Spotify shouldn’t be on this list… They exploit artists and platform joe rogans horseshit for profit
And i think they donated money to Trump also.
Qobuz is great though, they also provide lossless music which Spotify still don’t.
New version still misspells it “Mastadon” haha
Master Don.
Why Waterfox over LibreWolf? I have only used LibreWolf, which is my 99%-of-the-time browser, and I am curious.
Why not use something like Matrix (Element) as a messenger alternative?
I found it difficult to transfer contacts there compared to signal, but you’re right, it’s better.
These charts are pretty bad put a little more effort in
Yea, in hindsight the original (https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jcr8ks/here_is_the_new_and_improved_guide_to_help_you/) was not worth sharing.
Again, add Matrix or xmpp instead of just Signal & Disroot as well in the email section
Honest question, is Switzerland a part of the EU now, or do they just get a pass for being surrounded?
Oftentimes they are considered friendly.
Even in the 1930/40s?
That is offtopic 😂
I would recommend deezer over Spotify. Spotify enables Rogan and all his bullshit
Is Waterfox the most recommended Firefox alternative nowadays after the recent Firefox controversy?
Also not sure I would call Proton privacy focused. I still use it, but they have been rating out an environment activist to French authorities before.
Where’s the part suggesting getting off social media altogether, and stocking up on guns, ammo, and cans of beans?
@skeptomatic @SrMono You find that aplenty over on Matrix…
And in other communities. Also you misspelled beer.
After switching your search engine, hop into your European time-machine and go back to February to continue this guide.
Orion is not a paid browser. Kagi, however, is a paid search engine, and Orion was made by the Kagi team. The browser is completely free and is in all Apple OSs (coming to Linux soon) and gathers absolutely no data. And the browser comes with no search engine chosen by default so it isn’t really an ad for Kagi.
I personally think it’s amazing especially how you can have both Firefox and Chrome extensions on it. Its only issue is it being proprietary.
Orion was really well made. It is still beta, but when it is more stable, I’ll give it a second go! 100% recommended.
In what way is mastodon privacy focused?
Well, the flyer originated here: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jcr8ks/here_is_the_new_and_improved_guide_to_help_you/ but mastodon stands out as it has no commercial driver. There aren’t any ad-services profiling you, so that is a big win for your privacy.
There aren’t any ad-services profiling you
There’s no way to know that.
No Threema?
Unfortunately, Threema will never be a real alternative because of the price tag. There are just too many good alternative that are for free. For example, Element is European, privacy-wise good and for free.
Xmpp ?
That is a nice protocol. If you are interested in messenger then translate this page via an extension https://www.kuketz-blog.de/die-grosse-messenger-uebersicht-kompakt-kritisch-direkt/
Why does nobody ever remember about the Vivaldi browser?
What makes Vivaldi better than other Chromium-based browsers in terms of privacy and such?
It’s also chromium based. But other than that it’s european and a pretty cool browser!
Well, certainly not nobody, I hear it mentioned quite often on the internet! Just make sure to keep talking about it, if you want it to get more popular :D
