Even if you're not pirating as ads from google can be dangerous as well: Ublock Origin + Privacy Badger + Decentraleyes + VPN

Why is that?

This is great information! Just wanted to check. What about Polar and Withings in that case? Do they actually manufacture in the EU?

I am looking at replacing my garmin in the near future as long as the battery life is at least a week and would love to go for an as EU as possible replacement below the 300 euros mark.

The Nothing watch was my first pick due to price for quality, but knowing this I would like to look at alternatives instead.

Don't let perfect stand in the way of better I'd say, in the end both companies still need to make a return on investment

I personally never really liked duckduckgo. I'd say Qwant is the better one of the two in terms of results (I use it for work) but for personal use I choose Ecosia for the environmental impact, the results are getting better but not on Qwants level yet

Perhaps send their support an email about it to see what they say

Startpage is also majorly American owned, so good to step away from it!

I use Ecosia for personal use and Qwant for work. So I support both!

Ecosia is my personal choice because of the tree planting as well. But I agree Qwant results are a bit better, which for me only matters while I work.

Its already been mentioned but if you don't need reviews you can use Here WeGo maps. Its a good alternative and with more users (who make fixes if something is missing) it'll get better and better

While an alternative except GOG doesn't really exist. What you can do is buy your keys from any site linked by https://isthereanydeal.com/

These sites sell keys but money still goes to the developer, its just that steam does not get a cut and the companies on there do.

The companies that I know for a fact are EU based Greenman and Fanatical (UK), Gamesplanet (France)

There's also GamersGate (Swedish)
