Which iOS browser do you use?

by

Since I’m a more of a tablet user, my daily devices are iPhone and iPad at the moment. I’m using Safari with AdGuard and private relay, but I was thinking of switching to Vivaldi. AFAIK the engine is practically the same and doing so I would also lose private relay and extensions support. I’ve already ditched other Apple apps and switched to EU services on almost everything (also not Apple related) What do you think? What do you use on iOS?

European tech industry coalition calls for 'radical action' on digital sovereignty — starting with buying local

by

The rallying call to put European tech first — backed by companies including Airbus, Element, OVHCloud, Murena, Nextcloud, and Proton, to name a few — follows the shock of the Munich security conference, where U.S. Vice President JD Vance tore into Europe like an attack dog, leaving delegates in no doubt that the post-War international order is in tatters and all bets are off when it comes to what the U.S. might do under President Donald Trump.

Proposal: Allow contributions in all European languages if they are labelled accordingly in the title.

by

Many suggestions on how to replace American products have a very local home in an EU country and are not available without problems or costs in other EU countries or the UK. Why not also allow local tips in the local language? Europe is not a monophyletic block, but thrives on the diversity of cultures. Our communication here in the community can also express this.

Be careful by choosing some EU-companies

by

Avoiding American companies to express disapproval of US policy is great. However, this could give some European companies a reprieve, whose products you should not buy despite everything, because they have an inhumane corporate policy. My favorite example is Nestle. For them, access to drinking water is not a human right and that's how they act.
