I wouldn't say Bol.com is a good alternative to Amazon as their terms towards sellers is quite toxic, but I also wouldn't know any other alternative either.
Bol.com has been infested with drop shippers using ai, try searching for "aanpassing titel" lol. Besides, because of their "free shipping", most products are actually more expensive because they have the shipping price included, and you can buy it for less directly from the seller's own website.
The popups, ads, and nags about disabling ad blocker on Ecosia... Ehh...
How is Bolt any better than Lime or Uber?
I've never heard of here we go. I'm a bit hesitant to go driving somewhere using navigation software that isn't extremely battle tested.
I'd recommend Osmand, that's what I use and it's alright for me. It's never sent me somewhere wrong until know. Not everything is on there but then I just add the place, if I can.
Bolt seems European I guess? Maybe a better plan would be to use the local uber alternative, like https://drivers.coop/ for NYC or https://eva.coop/ for Montréal. Three's also https://coopcycle.org/ bût that's for deliveries and takeaways.
Curious -- are you using osmand in a car?
Yeah maybe Bolt is European. It's also in America as a scooter company so I'd assumed they're American
Yes I navigate with it quite often. I also use it on foot
What's the benefit in using the Aurora App Store? It just looks like an alternate interface, according to their site you're still using Google Play and you still need to log in with your Google account. Same with Vivaldi, isn't it just Chrome? I'm asking sincerely, these aren't attempts at gotchas or anything.
Isn't there a no account mode for Aurora ?
Not according to their site
Possibly an old sub-domain of some sort. Here seems more correct.
Fair enough, thanks. The screenshot I took was the top of the page of the first result when I searched for Aurora Store, that's why I was asking. It just didn't seem very useful. I might try it out.
