Welcome to the second weekly update on the Go European extension. I know I said I was doing it on sundays but for now just expect weekly updates to be somewhere in the weekends :)
Technically a week has just past since the first release but the week 1 update was also focused on development.

New features
These are newest features since last update:

- Path support added (e.g. google.com/maps does not show alternatives for google.com, but their own alternatives)
- A "support me" page to support the project
- Mapping changes to make contributing to the repo easier
- Added an option to turn of notifications/pop-ups entirely
- We moved to Codeberg!
Stats
This week was absolutely amazing. Thank you all for downloading, using and reviewing the addon. And another huge thank you to the two donators we've gotten so far. I appreciate it more than you can imagine :)
For Firefox we've are currently on 1167 downloads, and an average of 571 daily users. This is a huge number that I am very proud of. We have 29 reviews with a 4.9 stars average.
For Chrome the stats are a bit behind but as far as I can see we have a total of 913 active users and 8 reviews with an average of 5 stars.
Once again, thank you very much, and hopefully these numbers will grow in the following months!
Further updates
I now have a roadmap in the readme on the repo. You can find it here :)

Support me
In addition to last week update I decided to add some support options aswell.
Using this extension already shows plenty of support! Here's how you can help even more:
- Leave a review on the extension store - this helps others discover Go European
- Share the extension with friends and colleagues who might be interested in European alternatives
- Use it regularly to discover European alternatives to non-European sites and services
- Send me feedback about your experience with the extension and the alternatives you've discovered
Your feedback helps me improve and reach more users!
Know a European alternative that's not in the database? Let me know! Your contributions will help expand our database and benefit all users. https://tally.so/r/meYd2k
If you find Go European valuable and want to support its development, consider donating!
Nearly all of the application is currently being built by a single developer, me. I use a lot of my free time to develop the extension, but I would like to replace more of my "working" time to work on the extension. By donating, you can help me with that! There are a lot of people who are offering to help with the main application but all code has to be checked and reviewed, and unfortunately I don't have much time for that in addition to developing the extension myself.
Your contributions help me:
- Maintain and improve the extension
- Add more European alternatives
- Keep the project free of any ads
- Expand to more browsers and platforms
