Finally people are starting to see the light and seeing that relying on Big Tech is a bad idea. In this case this is about Oslo, but governments all across the world are seeing the same thing. Being reliant on Big Tech is a bad idea and you should move on to smaller companies with better values.
Thus, we at Vivaldi are getting plenty of requests at this time. It is not a fast process, but there is an understanding that it is time and it is urgent!
You should do the same. Your company should do the same. Take the steps you can take. Ready to change OS? Browser? Search engine? Mail provider?
My recommendation is to at least switch to Vivaldi! 😀
