I’ve been pretty impressive so far. The only thing that’s not as great is the points of interest. It is based off Trip Advisor so there’s way less data to work with.

If there’s not a better alternative to either, which would be best?
If all things were the same, I think I’d prefer Firefox over Vivaldi, but I’ve been using the latter assuming it helps our Norwegian friends more.
I’ve tested Qwant, Ecosia, Vilvaldi, Startpage, and Firefox Focus. (The last two I dropped since I realized they were still linked to US)
I like Vivaldi for desktop, but I don’t love the layout on mobile (although I appreciate you can change the icon to something not red!).
So I’ve just been using Qwant for both search and as an iOS browser. Pretty happy so far.
I appreciate your efforts! It can be tough out here on the digital frontier. It won’t always be easy but you’re a trailblazer!
As someone who’s new to the Fediverse, I did find it confusing that there was more than one with the same name. I ended up clicking each to notice there was a difference between them (i.e. one seemed like just memes).
If they can be combined and filtered for people who only want one and it can get a larger audience, great. Otherwise, maybe unique names would be helpful, like “BuyFromEU-memes”
The digital Euro initiative won’t be ready till like 2028, so we’ll definitely need some interim solutions!
