Ask HN: Why not have an EU browser?

2•osigurdson•50m ago
I've been wondering, why don't we have a chrome fork that only accepts sites hosted in the EU? If a site is hosted in the EU then it can be fully regulated by the EU.

This would make it easier for citizens to know that their data is is safe (according to EU standards) and avoids the regulatory complexities of trying to enforce rules in other countries.

Thoughts?

A very large proportion of EU/EEA websites are hosted outside EU/EEA or using companies from USA.

The user experience would be somewhat poor.

US companies have also data centers in EU. These data centers are subject to CLOUD Act.

Who would use it?

Like, if you are in Germany and want to travel to the UK then you need to use a UK site to get an Electronic Travel Authorization. UK is not in the EU, so you'll need another browser.

Norway and Switzerland are also not part of the EU.

And then there's something odd about thinking that if you connect to Facebook's data center in Ireland then that interaction with Facebook is fully regulated by the EU and the data is safe.

Nor is it like EU-based servers are automatically outside the reach of the US CLOUD Act, if the server is operated by a subsidiary of a US company.
