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 👌🏼

Very nice initiative!
Here’s the official site: https://www.eu-searchperspective.com/
To your list, I’ve also switched out:
- Gmail for mailbox.org
- Google calendar for calengoo
- Drive for koofr
- Netflix for Mubi
- Google docs for onlyoffice
- Edit: and chrome for Vivaldi
No complaints so far, they don’t all have exactly the same functions as the products I replaced, but they very much do the job and I’m happy overall.
Koofr and mailbox also respond rapidly to tech help requests 👍
I’ve been using Mailbox.org for 3 years and it’s great, but for me my best European cloud discovery was Koofr. I’ve been using them for 6 years now? And I never, ever had a problem
Yep would’ve switched to koofr ages ago but I’ve been happy with the Google drive experience until I wasn’t…
Koofr is great, very user friendly!
Welcome to Lemmy @Magnusloev@feddit.dk !
YSK that Ecosia and Qwant (and many others) repackage Bing
The post is literally about them creating their own index to move away from Bing. This is a utterly useless comment.
Qwant has its own indexes and uses Bing to supplement them
Qwant and Ecosia are also developing a fully European search index together. The first versions are expected to be available this summer.
Neat! I think I heard about that somewhere
You could use Mojeek then, they even have a Lemmy presence @mojeek@lemmy.ml.
They are closed source too.
Ecosia also got a browser ! But not sure how good it is.
If you want EU based browsers It’s Vivaldi , ecosia , and Mullvad browser.
Yes they sadly are based on Chrome or gecko but ladybird browser still takes a while
pCloud is excellent storage service from Switzerland. Same with ProtonMail.
DuckDuckGo and Signal are really the only American things I still use. Might give Qwant a try, but I really like how DuckDuckGo has served me all these years.
Wonderful News!
