> Some customers might not notice, for some it'll suggest you're heavily EU focused - be aware .fr, .de, etc are definately a thing, and some might mistake you for a government agency offshoot. I am not sure about .fr, but I can tell you for sure that you won’t be mistaken as a government offshoot for using a .de domain, they are extremely common in Germany and are basically standard for any Germany business. That being said, I guess many people could misunderstand the tld for your business being limited to Germany instead of Europe/EU in general
