Here you can find reviewed, impressive and comprehensive European alternatives for digital products and apps if you wanna break from American (big) tech companies.

Have a look, you'll be impressed...

People incorrectly assume "European alternative" means "better alternative" when sometimes, that's not the case. Privacy needs to be approached with skepticism, no matter what surface-level credential something has.

  • Open-source
  • Paid
  • End-to-end encrypted
  • European

Things like these might be table stakes, but they should not be the end of your search for an alternative product.
