Yesterday I found a site targeting European alternatives, european-alternatives.eu. It are not only Google alternatives.

Google is only one of the organizations beyond our control that we still rely on, Meta is another example. Ideally, every alternative should be open-source, but often commercial solutions look nicer and appeal to the average non-techy user.

I feel like Perplexity is getting really close to competing with Google (especially with endless follow-ups) and you know, google is just flooded with ads these days.

A few years ago, I never would have thought that anything could replace Google. Tech moves so fast :)

If we have learnt one thing from history, its CHANGE!! If not for change, companies like Kodak, Blackberry, Nokia, Xerox, IBM, Blockbuster, Cisco would have been the ruling the world today. So, thanks to the AI wave, we might be looking at an alternate very soon. One of them from this list could be a big possibility. Perplexity, ChatGPT are at the top of the list....

It all started with a promise that couldn’t be ignored. Last year, I stumbled upon an online investment platform called “CryptoFortuneX” that advertised super high returns on Bitcoin and USDT investments. Their beautiful website, great customer reviews, and "24/7 expert support" sealed my decision. In two months, I had $565,000 worth of USDT invested, reassured by fake portfolio updates showing steady growth. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, excuses came: server errors, verification delays, and finally, radio silence, panic set in. I'd been scammed. Desperate, I scoured forums for solutions and discovered Dexdert Net Pro, a cybersecurity firm specializing in crypto fraud recovery. I reached out. Their team responded within hours, asking for transaction records, wallet addresses, and every scrap of communication with CryptoFortuneX,  They traced my USDT through blockchain ledgers, uncovering a labyrinth of wallets designed to obscure the trail, Weeks of tension followed, The recovery wasn’t instant—it took Week of legal wrangling and compliance checks. But in the end, I regained my $565,000 USDT successfully Dexdert’s transparency amazed me, Today, I’m rebuilding, wiser and grateful for Dexdert’s tenacity. They didn’t just reclaim my money—They even provided post-recovery guidance to secure my assets,  safeguarding countless others. If you’ve been scammed, don’t lose hope. But act swiftly: in the crypto world, time is the thief’s greatest ally.
