I have to admit, France really stepped up in the past couple of years (and decades regarding nuclear deterrent ;) ). Besides Mistral.ai instead of US AI services, I started to use qwant.com as a replacement for Google search/news. It's been only a couple of days, but I'd say the quality is about the same/even better (but might be biased due that ongoing Trump shitshow).
