  • Your guide to finding a new Search Engine service and supporting European companies!

    Jump

  • For Search, it is about finding the least bad option and hope that they will become more independent. Mojeek (fully independent but poor quality) or Qwant (building own index, but dependent on Bing)

  • In the PrivateSearch section, but greyed out as they are not an EU based company.

  • Yup! It is noted in the highlighted text in red. I've had several people respond that they didn't know about it, and would be making the switch away :)

  • There are a lot of privacy-focused alternatives, but not all of them are. Fastmail and Infomatrix are two excellent options that are more focused on convenience

  • Sorry, that is a bit confusing. The other guides have companies with that indicator. Should have removed it here though.

  • There are so many good choices that it is hard to showcase them all - Mailfence often gets recommended

  • A company is not a person. Choosing not to support a company because it ultimately benefits its home country, which is actively waging war, should be considered a negative. Whether it is enough not to use their services is up to each individual. As you said, it is a FOSS application, so if you aren't using one of their paid plans, how much is it truly benefiting them?

    Also, I don't think this is a "insert current enemy of the West" scenario. Ukraine isn't traditionally considered part of the West, and it has support from most countries and people worldwide (not just the West).
