The comment was specifically talking about "internationally relevant" companies. > It looks like you don't know much about Europe. > Let's start with browser. Opera, made in Norway. Opera has 2 or 3% market share and these days is a Chromium fork. I don't even remember the last time I saw someone using Opera. > Search Engine. Ecosia, Qwant. Both of these are wrappers around Bing and regardless have less than 1% market share. > Social network: Mastodon. Despite some buzz on HN, it's less than 1% the size of Twitter. > Operating system: are you kidding right? Linux, Linus Torvalds is from Finland. Linus Torvalds moved to the US in 1996 and is now a US citizen. And isn't that kind of the point? Europe has no shortage of smart/entrepreneurial people, but they often come to the US so their projects or companies can reach their full potential instead of being stifled in the EU.
