Agreed. If anyone knows about an EU (or allies) search engine with a business model that’s not strictly based on advertising (topped up by grants perhaps), let us know.

I use Ecosia/Qwant for now.

I doubt it. “Back to business” in Iran means back to what? Old regime with new Ayotollah? They have replacements lined up. Israel and USA probably have attacks lined up as well.

Without new leadership on the other hand, I doubt the IRGC will just drop their weapons in a matter of days.

I’d start preparing for a few scenarios: home, Switzerland, elsewhere. Do you know whether the embassy can be of any help?

Great thread. I run an old Roomba i3 with optical sensor (no camera). In the market to upgrade to a European and privacy respecting device.
