There might be some changes that could improve it further:
- ~~Remove Brave~~
- ~~Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized~~
- Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
- Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
- ~~Add GrapheneOS~~
- Maybe add Delta chat
- ~~Maybe remove Bluesky~~
- ~~Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)~~
- ~~Add ente because Immich is selfhosted~~
- ~~Add aurora~~
- ~~Add SearxNG~~
- Add SimpleX
- Add lichess
- Add pCloud
Any other suggestions?

Ecosia is a German web search engine based on Bing and Google's index.
Qwant is a French web search engine based on Bing but which has been working on its own index for a while.
I just found out that Ecosia and Qwant started teaming up last year to build a European search index. I hope something will come out of it. https://blog.ecosia.org/eusp/
PeerTub is developped by French non-profit Framasoft, which also develops multiple de-gooling apps: collaborative docs, forms, agenda, or host other open-source collaboration tools. https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/
Same, as soon as I heard they were developing an European search index i instantly switched to Qwant.
