Hi im looking for a european alternative for my browser. I understand that basically all browser are either chromium or Firefox based. I heard mozilla is also going through their own enshittificafion so im looking for a european alternatieve

I would probably still prefer a Firefox based browser over a chromium based one, because … you know… Google.

Ive find librewolf to be the only real alternative but also heard good things about Zen Browser. But for The life of me, I cannot find where ‘The zen browser team’ Company is based or operaties from.

Does any one know this? Any other tips or suggestions are also welcome.

    Zen browser is an open source project based on Firefox, there’s no company behind it, just random people all over the world.

    Just my 2 cents as a web developer… I don’t have any reason to quit Firefox (or Thunderbird). Yes the hole communication about PPA was a disaster and opt out is not ideal, but on the other hand the Gecko engine is so important for the open web. Without Mozilla it will surely die soon. So we end up with Blink and Webkit, both controlled by US big tech companies.

    So, is it really such a good idea to penalize Mozilla in the long term? I don’t think so.

    If PPA really is unacceptable for you, opt out. At least its a good idea to read about this standard and then make a decision.

      Vivaldi is chromium-based (not FF-based) and it is European ;)

    Waterfox is one option. its UK based. I find it a little faster than librefox out of the. I use the container tabs extensively for my IT work juggling dozens of customer login details and profiles.
