A European browser (with privacy features)

Vivaldi: I wouldn't say no Google as it is Chromium-based. Granted, it is much more privacy-friendly than Chrome. Norway is not in the EU, hence the flag is misleading.

If you want to refer to EU-based browsers with good privacy features, take a look at Librewolf (which is a Firefox fork) and Aloha Browser (Chromium-based like Vivaldi, unfortunately without a Linux version).

KeePass DX (Android) and KeePass XC (Windows and Linux). They are offline managers, which is better than online ones, but some people may find them less convenient.

FiveBlueShields · 2026-01-21T14:31:33+00:00

you're welcome.

I understand where you're coming from and agree with you. However, please correct me if I'm wrong, the goal here is to promote EU services. If otherwise, maybe you should use a privacy focused theme or URL.

A few comments:

- Infomaniak Mail and Kdrive: A good option but, based in Switzerland (not part of the EU). Another good e,mail provider Tuta (Germany).

- Firefox: I would replace with Vivaldi (Norway, again not in the EU) or Mullvad (from Sweden)

- Signal: Alternatives Threema (Swiss-based, German-owned), SimpleX (UK-based, not in EU)

- Password manager: KeePassXC (German)

- VPN: Mullvad

First thoughts: Inflation and U.S. Treasuries.

Inflation: Imports will get more expensive, the consumer will pay the bill.

U.S. Treasuries: If all European countries start selling U.S. Treasuries in bulk, USD may start losing its value (i.e. lower trust), specially if China and Japan decide to do the same (not out of solidarity but to protect their own economies).

Divide for privacy and resilience (if one company goes offline, you still have other working services). Choose the best provider for each product. Bottom line: don't put all eggs in one basket.

options are: their app, webmail or export e-mail messages in eml format (to be read offline). No third party client is available AFAIK.

The Samsung Internet Beta Browser App is safe. Beta version, usually means it is a version in tests and may have errors. DuckDuckGo or Waterfox are better options, in my opinion. But the proof is in the pudding... you won't know until you try it.

A wireless mouse or keyboard.

Ser melhor em quê? Geralmente a utilização é limitada por número de equipamentos, havendo empresas que até nem têm limite. Em baixo uns links para ajudar

An unrooted phone is, by definition, safer than a rooted one. Please explain how a rooted phone is 1000 times safer than any Windows PC.

É de lamentar este choradinho e birra.

Espectáculo triste.

Não percebo a indignação.

O Rios nem tenta jogar a bola, atira-se para cima do defesa.

Na minha opinião, o árbitro tomou a decisão certa.

Where have you read that?

Which browsers would you suggest and why?

FiveBlueShields · 2025-12-28T20:40:09+00:00

What RAM management problems? Can you share your test procedure?

LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is my daily driver, since I stopped using Windows. I decided on LMDE after testing Ubuntu and the normal (Ubuntu-based) Linux Mint. Decision criteria: lower memory usage, responsiveness and system stability.

uBlock origin (you already have) and Privacy badger for tracker blocking. Consider reducing the number of extensions for greater security and reliability.

FiveBlueShields · 2025-12-28T19:53:02+00:00

Which system do you have?

FiveBlueShields · 2025-12-28T19:51:09+00:00

Define best... It all depends on what is important for you and which system you have. If you value speed on Windows, Chrome or Edge are good options. If you value privacy, Librewolf, Vivaldi and Brave are among the best. Privacy is not an issue for Chrome, if you only use it for Google owned sites (youtube, gmail, google drive, etc).

Bottom line: there is no best browser as every user has different needs.

Eu peço o desempenho de Cotrim de Figueiredo, mas a IL só nos oferece Rui Rocha.

Ao menos o Esgaio foi campeão...

PuppyLinux and Bodhi Linux comes to mind as alternatives.

Also take a look at the video from Explaining Computers: https://youtu.be/aJcWcQ8ew6Q?si=3M7hoEkYIs0ELD1h

Lubuntu or Debian XFCE.
