A switch away from US big-tech is great, but the switch should be made to something fundamentally better and more secure/privacy preserving IMO.

Not every single tool you might need will have a recommendation on this website, but some will and they’re well researched and vetted alternatives that often perform better than the service you’re replacing.

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.
