gohug.eu - Embracing Europe ❤️
gohug.eu
Your liberated start page. Helping you discover European alternatives.

Fingers crossed this community will find this useful: https://gohug.eu/

It’s intended as liberated start page to discover non-US search engine alternatives and the latest community posts. It’s part of my personal journey of changing my old ways - switching to Vivaldi (Firefox once/if manifest v2 gets dropped), using Qwant & Mistral, joining this community.

https://gohug.eu/join is a collection of related lemmy posts, reddit posts, and misc bookmarks that I thought might be handy to look up from time to time again. Mostly broader meta-posts and tools. I’m constantly adding new gems from this awesome community.

When I joined I just got excited - still am - and desperately wanted to give something back. If somebody finds this useful I am more than happy.

    Interesting. Did not know that:

    Startpage is a global privacy technology company that was founded in 2006 in the Netherlands. It is owned by a Dutch company, which is operated from its headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands. Startpage is also part of System1, a publicly traded company based in the United States. System1, through its subsidiary Privacy One Group, acquired a majority stake in Startpage in October 2019. Despite this acquisition, Startpage has maintained its commitment to privacy and continues to operate under the leadership of its founders, including Robert E.G. Beens, who is the Co-Founder and CEO

    Personally I see any switch away from big tech (ideally to FOSS) as win. We don’t need to be perfect, but try our best. In the end a lot of people doing it imperfectly will have a bigger impact than a few people doing it perfectly.

    That said I’ll most likely remove it from the selection in the next couple of days.

    Edit: replaced it with Karma search
