Fair point and good call out!
I always assume that we have the sense to double check any recommends.
On a related note, I believe that due to the nature of FOSS and it being “borderless” that those alternatives should also be relevant.
Yep, I get that - I'm not a fan of Brave in particular due to the crypto crap and the owner's homophobia and right-wing beliefs but thats not why I mentioned it, I just wanted people to be aware that PrivacyGuides, whilst a fantastic resource, is not a source for only European software/services.
I think the purpose of this community is to give money to EU companies though. Not necessarily to get away from paying for services entirely like the FOSS community seeks.
I think there's a space for FOSS software, but that's not here.
