And your thoughts on Qobuz?

arkenfox.js

I believe it is on a similar level, but don’t quote me on that. They are both featured by privacytools and privacyguides. I’ll look to add arkenfox as that was missed.

I also found Tidal had the edge in user experience. I’m wondering how Deezer competes, as that is the next one for me to try.

That is a big part why Firefox and Firefox based browsers are so heavily favoured on the website.

Personally, I would have them on the left column, but there is a general divide in the EU community on whether they should still be encouraged as a “lesser of two evils”. As a compromise, I have left them in with a huge disclaimer. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/software/D5JUoM1dZysf7JJgTAWXy/

maybe

Planning on adding to the website every week so will look into that

One of my favourite finds! Their apps are also fantastic… and an obligatory fuck Audible.

Startmail is there on the site! Just too many good options to include in the infographic. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email

Kagi is there for search - will look at Magidu.

P.S. Kagi is US-based, but I personally use them.

You might prefer the standard version then - https://www.purchasewithpurpose.io/.

I agree that the OS section needs a lot of work.

We don’t in fact there are many excellent Canadian options highlighted. And I even had a Canadian version :)

I decided to highlight rather than remove, so people can see how it compares to their US counterparts. It is also partially due to the effort required to maintain another full version. The most significant driver for this is to encourage people to move away from Big Tech, and a secondary driver is to move to EU-based tools.

They are there! In fact, Librewolf is listed first as an excellent privacy option - https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/browser

Metager is an excellent choice, and I do my best to explain to those the difference between it and a standard search provider. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/search-engine

Artist pay is actually a big factor in comparing the Music Streaming options, with high royalties being a special shout-out. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/music-streaming/

You aren’t wrong. I went back and forth on whether to include them. The reality is that everyone knows Spotify and far better to educate people on why NOT to support them (hence being red and with a disclaimer).

I made a mistake on Vivaldi, but the others are because they are non-EU owned. The website separates the HQ and ownership better, which helps explain this. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/

Thanks @[email protected] for sharing my guide. Below is the text that followed the original.

I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Details:

• Site - https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/
• Code - https://codeberg.org/purchase-with-purpose/pwp-website
• Community - https://lemmy.world/c/PurchaseWithPurpose

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!

I see there are several comments! I’ll go through it now and respond.
