Hi im looking for a european alternative for my browser. I understand that basically all browser are either chromium or Firefox based. I heard mozilla is also going through their own enshittificafion so im looking for a european alternatieve

I would probably still prefer a Firefox based browser over a chromium based one, because โ€ฆ you knowโ€ฆ Google.

Ive find librewolf to be the only real alternative but also heard good things about Zen Browser. But for The life of me, I cannot find where โ€˜The zen browser teamโ€™ Company is based or operaties from.

Does any one know this? Any other tips or suggestions are also welcome.

I haven't been able to confirm precisely, but the Midori browser appears to be from Spain or at least Europe. Their website only comes in English/Espaรฑol and the only events they have listed as attending have been in Germany. It's Gecko-based, so it's "Firefox-ish". It also takes Firefox add-ins, which is nice.

I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it's been working fine. Spotify hiccups on it, but that's the only site I go to regularly that doesn't like it.

Glad to see Midori is still active. I used it for a time 15 years ago and really liked it. Not sure about Astian, but I might have to take a look for myself soon.
