European Union Alternatives; the conflation of "from Europe" and "from countries in the EU" is one which needs pointing out here. Also all the search options use indexes which come from outside of the EU/Europe.

No, it's not just EU. Proton mail is the first one I saw, haven't checked for others.

aye, you are correct, it still is a confusing usage of the word European for me personally

Quoth the about page:

The company is based in an EU, EEA, EFTA, or DCFTA member country.

So Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia included, but not Turkey (only tariff union), neither are Belarus, Russia, UK, and much of the Balkans. Iceland is included, Greenland isn't, Faroer should be via Iceland, same goes for Monaco via France, San Marino via Italy etc. Switzerland in particular is included because EFTA.
