      That’s not only interesting but also extremely useful. Thank you!

      >to disconnect from the US software industry

      I do support and always will support alternatives, but I find the calls to “disconnect from the US software industry” to be so weird… How are these goals different from what China did and what Russia is trying to do right now – creating “their own” internet and building The Great Firewall to keep out that pesky foreign influence?

      I don’t think people who want to “disconnect” realize that it’s not a good thing and it’s not how you actually achieve positive progress for humanity.

      I mean the search engines say they use index from bing….so they are still reliant on MS…

      >the EU has been pushing the use

      it doesn’t seem an official EU website… just a website made by an european…

      Also consider switching away from Windows or IOS to a Linux distribution like Linux Mint! It’s not necessarily european (although I think the creator is), but it’s definitely more in line with european values!

      Sure, but eu has no functional services or systems that work seamlessly across multiple devices.

      Browsers are unproven, and no developer tests or even considers these for their pages etc. You don’t have time for that.

      I know mw my Gmail is not going to vanish. I have had it for 15+ years.
      Can you say the same for all those small alternatives.

      Can I use them on phone, watch, windows?

      Cloud services also are barely a shadow of what aws or azure allows.

      And so on.

      Lack of supported devices, os, pricing, functionality etc.

      I won’t switch simply because of ideology.

      Bing search engine .. no thanks, only startpage looks like worth the try

      Not very much in here which demonstrates how the EU is a second tier IT power

    13. Jazzlike_Painter_118 on

      Just use Firefox and Ubuntu. It is not that difficult.

      Very useful info. However I have doubts regarding OsmAnd as an alternative for Google Maps, since originally it was a Belorussia based project.

    15. bloospiller on

      Super interesting. I have been using Infomaniak and Proton for some time now, aswell as qwant and startpage. With this, I just discovered the first real alternative I have ever tried for google maps: HERE WeGo maps. It works extremely well and it seems to be much more privacy friendly than GMaps!!

      The vivaldi browser i actually a genuinely superior product that’s available on Android at least. It even comes with a built in adblocker and you can choose your own search engine

    17. Left-Celebration4822 on

      I have been using DuckDuckGo but since it is US based I should probably switch?

      If there was a post I could upvote more than once, I’d want it to be this one. Will have a gander later. Seems like a useful site.

      I’m typing on an iPhone so…it’ll be quite difficult to disconnect completely I guess. Was thinking about from Google especially. But hopefully with time we’ll get more alternatives.

      One small errata: the EU hadn’t pushed anything. All of the software switches had thus far been spontaneous.

      For all those who are thinking: Well that does not change a thing:

      Software industry needs to be heavily subsidized and should have a lot of incentives to trigger a US scale tool development. EU has missed the train and the catching up is hard and it can only happen by giving tons of financial flexibility to digital companies.

      The owner of the website should put a date on the services so we know when they were founded as an indicator of trust and stability, not moving my mail to something that can randomly get closed

    27. Zinch85 on

      It’s hard to do on all services, but I left some of them some time ago. I use Firefox, open office and Ecosia (I know, they use Bing, but they don’t share your data and they are a non profit company and they use the money for renaturalize programs). Next will be my email, I think

      Poor globalists watching their dream collapse around them, as Russia isolates itself from the West, and Europe isolates itself from America.

      So much for Soros’ dream.
