I guess the silver lining is that you'd at least not be supporting a US-based company.

Love to see Europeans jumping on board as well. At some point Americans only customers will be Russia and North Korea if Trumps administration keeps bullying and alienating countries like this.

+1 for MUBI , it is a streaming service with curated high quality cinema. And they have a very accesible plan . They have a notebook or magazine they deliver every few months that is priceless. I have some volumes. For Cinema lovers obviously .

I'd really like to get rid of Google Maps, but the alternatives I've tried failed to make a good replacement.

I use the bus / tram / metro more than anything, and occasionally drive long distances. I'm okay with having two different apps for driving and public transport.

Any suggestions ?

Delta Chat might also be worth mentioning/adding. Havenโ€™t used it extensively but the feature set is promising.

This works a bit for Canada too.

Somehow I don't use/buy any of these? Like from either side of the chart... I guess I'm doing my part?

I'll just buy using temu or AliExpress. European brands are too expensive in my third world country

This seems to have been made by a Swede.
