Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best European alternative to Safari?
Vivaldi (Norway) is the most privacy-focused mainstream browser with EU roots. LibreWolf is a Firefox fork hardened for privacy, developed by the European open-source community. Both avoid Apple's ecosystem lock-in.
Is Firefox better than Safari for privacy?
Firefox (Mozilla) offers better cross-platform privacy, more extension support, and is open-source. However, Mozilla is a US organisation. For maximum privacy, LibreWolf (EU community fork of Firefox) removes telemetry entirely and is maintained by European developers.
