MODERATORS
Tutanota is German and one of the most private Mail, also from Germany the search engines MetaGer and Ecosia, from Spain security software Panda Security, the first one which used a cloud based AV, KDE was founded in Germany. Browser: the French UR and Vivaldi from Oslo, Norway. The European Space Agency also has a huge repository of software, which maybe interesting for research and academic works. https://essr.esa.int

I know, I use it, also Proton Mail, since years.
Vivaldi is from Island. Opera from Norway.
Isn't Opera mostly owned by Chinese investors now? Stick with Vivaldi, that's where all the Opera devs went.
just use hardened firefox
No, Vivaldi has an office Iceland and also its servers are there, but the headquarter is in Oslo. Opera has an office in Norway (like MS has a office in Germany, but certainly isn't a German company), but it was adquired by an Chinese Investment Company, it's not a EU browser. It was in the past, until the company was sold to China. https://vivaldi.com/company/
