@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net Startpage originated from the Netherlands, but now owned by a US based company.

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net @StartpageSearch@mastodon.social @Qwant@mastodon.social @ecosia@mastodon.social @protonprivacy@mastodon.social @jottacloud@mastodon.social I find it interesting that your browser is proudly anti-generative AI, yet several companies on this list are using that same technology.

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net @StartpageSearch@mastodon.social is a pain in the ass. Sponsored results consume most of the content above the page fold. First thing I change when I install Vivaldi ,since it seems to be your search engine of choice

Just want to add Qwant and Ecosia are currently developing a independent search index to break from Google/Bing https://betterweb.qwant.com/en/2024/11/08/ecosia-and-qwant-join-forces-to-develop-european-search-index/

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net @StartpageSearch@mastodon.social @Qwant@mastodon.social @ecosia@mastodon.social @protonprivacy@mastodon.social @jottacloud@mastodon.social European Alternatives. Why is Metager search not mentioned You also conveniently forget Disroot.org which offers a lot of services and Posteo for Email. I think antiX Linux also deserves a mention, much of the development of my favorite Debian derivative is done in Greece.

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net Is there a good alternative to #kagi? (No, #Kägi isn't 😂.)

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net Boosted and bookmarked this list of European alternatives for online functions.

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net has their partnership with @protonprivacy@mastodon.social but for everyone else, I'd caution against engaging. "The privacy company" not only made sure they wouldn't miss out on joining the crypto wave, they are also proudly keen on feeding your data to LLMs (but... Privacy like). They also sounded a bunch of dog whistles with their "election freedom" publicity stunt campaign and... Wasn't their CEO publicly praising trump a while back or something?

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net it would be nice if there were some search engines on there that didn’t rely on Bing.. @StartpageSearch@mastodon.social @Qwant@mastodon.social @ecosia@mastodon.social Also pCloud is a great Swiss based cloud storage provider with a strong focus on data security but no mastodon presence!

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net Us Americans like privacy, too: 🔍 DuckDuckGo - Bing-based anonymous search engine, based in Pennsylvania, U.S. 🔒 Private Internet Access - A VPN that is now London-based, but was founded by an American. 🔒 Norton VPN - Owned by Norton, a brand by Gen, whose main headquarters are in Arizona, U.S. ☁️ MediaFire - Anonymous file-sharing service, based in Texas, U.S. ☁️ TrueNAS - Cloud storage with privacy options, based in California, U.S.

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net @StartpageSearch@mastodon.social @Qwant@mastodon.social @ecosia@mastodon.social @protonprivacy@mastodon.social @jottacloud@mastodon.social The mentioned Search engines here still use Bing/Google as their index from what I researched. Ecosia and Qwant are working on their own index but @Mojeek@mastodon.social (UK) seems like the only one producing their own results. I am trying Mojeek for the first time, so far so good.

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net I would also add #infomaniak from Switzerland. Among other things, they offer email and cloud storage services. 19€ per year for 1 TB is amazingly cheap in my opinion.
