Frequently Asked Questions

Are there European alternatives to Chrome?
Yes, there are European alternatives to Chrome. Headquarters, hosting, encryption, and compliance are separate facts, so compare features and verify each provider's current privacy, security, and hosting documentation.
Why switch from Chrome to a European alternative?
A European provider can support procurement or data-sovereignty goals, but it does not automatically guarantee European hosting, encryption, GDPR compliance, or immunity from foreign law. Verify the provider's policies and seek legal advice where required.
Is Chrome GDPR compliant?
As a US-based company, Chrome may transfer and process your data in the United States. While they may have GDPR compliance measures, your data could still be subject to US laws including the CLOUD Act.
How do I migrate from Chrome to a European alternative?
