Another European messenger app is the Switzerland based Threema.

Right. But it's a paid one and many people aren't willing to pay for a messenger, unfortunately.

Ecosia uses both Google and Bing for their results. It's not an actual search engine, just a proxy. They also use OpenAI for their chatbot.

Looks like they want to change that https://blog.ecosia.org/eusp/

Mastodon is private? Signal isn't?

I think those got mixed up.

You are right. Reported it to the original author.

Thanks for posting it! It's interesting to see these evolve. They keep getting better!

Spotify is a more ethical company?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

No it isn't. It's European but they are shitty. I cross posted it from reddit. Consider Deezer instead.

I'm surprised Vivaldi isn't suggested in the browser section, makes me wonder what else they missed that I don't happen to know of already

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Personally I don't like the fact that Vivaldi is not open source. Yes it's European but I don't want to go back to proprietary browsers.

Oh right, I forgot about that! That's probably why. At least its source code is transparent, better than nothing I suppose!
