please don’t use brave, it’s just bloatware:
https://piefed.social/c/opensource/p/1649276/you-need-to-stop-using-brave
sorry, i can not offer you a european alternative at this point. there might be, i just don’t know
Vivaldi's a good European web browser
It is Chromium, however, and not fully Open Source. I recommend Librewolf or Waterfox, open source forks of firefox.
OP posted an android homescreen.
Waterfox is on mobile
I'm still pretty new to the foss community (just installed Linux Mint on a VERY old computer so I can get some experience under my belt!) But I was wondering if you knew of a way to download Waterfox without using the Play Store? Thanks!
I don't know where they release it tbh, i use Fennec on mobile which removes the mozilla tracking from Firefox just like Waterfox does, but you can install it from f-droid
Zen browser, while privacy isn't its main focus, has an awesome user interface and a bunch of QoL features and I ended up switching from Firefox.
you can install Ublock origin for the privacy, and change a couple settings to make it on par with librewolf
also no inbuilt ai as far as i know.
~~Zen is Windows-only~~
Edit: I checked their web and they do have a Linux and Mac version, but the other versions are pretty hidden.
FWIW, it’s not only on Linux but Mac as well.
Zen is on Linux as well, i'm using it on Linux
Maybe replace Brave with Cromite (assuming that OP needs Chromium based browser)? I'm not sure if Cromite is European but it's not controlled by a company and it's FOSS
stick to brave, despite having more features it's more efficient and faster
i don't think there will ever be a european browser. foss is global
If you want to support an homophobe, go ahead and use Brave ig
