“Bye bye bye.” It took some time, and a serious amount of research, but I have finally crossed the finish line. I have officially migrated my digital life to pure, EU-hosted solutions.
Unless of course your content is original and you want to foster the alternatives instead of further cementing the problematic platforms.
Sure, the choice is rather ideological than economical, but not working on the transition (like using all platforms in parallel in order to someday fade away from the problematic ones) is just lazy and half arsed.
And they cite Vivaldi as their go-to browser. European, sure, but not open source and based on Chromium. I’m always skeptical of Vivaldi users; they seem to value nostalgia (remember Opera?) over facts.
Man I just love the browser and its features. But it does help that they are EU based and have some pretty well known browser veterans as founders. Also they are quite supportive in their forums and I feel they try to be as transparent as possible in their blog posts. E.g. they made clear to support Manifest V2 as long as it is somehow possible while also keep on improving their builtin ad blocker (but we all know nothing can keep up with uBlock)

Some of us are pretty ok.
