    Nice, but Firefox, Tidal and Bluesky should not be listed for obvious reasons.

        Firefox for the recent privacy issues (they removed the promise that they’ll never sell users’ data, lots of online debates about this).

        Tidal was owned by Jay Z (billionaire) and had some controversies around music quality, inflating play counts, plus the free option is only for the US if I’m not mistaken.

        Bluesky is “decentralized” but has one instance. “No billionaires” but is funded by crypto bros. It’s going to enshittify very quickly. It’s better than nazi twitter, but Mastodon exists so why bother.

          Jay-Z sold most of his majority stake to Jack Dorsey/Square but not all. He retained 20% of his shares and AFAIK is still involved with Tidal.

          Qobuz is another music streaming and download service. I haven’t tried it yet but have kept it on my radar.

            Qobuz seems interesting too as it’s non US. But I always used Deezer so never got the chance to try it.

              I looked at them when I was ready to ditch Spotify. The only reason I didn’t go with them was because Tidal and Deezer were cheaper.

          Thanks for letting me know. What alternative to Firefox would you recommend? I want to stay away from chromium. I don’t know a lot about Librewolf. Do you know if that one’s worth looking into?

            Librewolf seems to be a good alternative for Firefox. Specially for privacy issues.
