Informing users of python.org about alternatives to Google

Hi , I noticed you link to Mozilla Firefox, which is my favorite search engine because they focus their attention on privacy. You link to them from this page on your site BTW: python.org/doc/essays/cp4e/ I think that switching from Google to Mozilla Firefox is only the first step in knowing what alternatives are available for other Google services, like Gmail, YouTube etc, I was part of the team that created this article about the best existing alternatives for Google, and I wanted to ask you if you would be willing to share it on that page of yours with your users. This way, they will know they have alternatives that are maybe smaller and less known but that try to make a living in the shadow of the internet giant called Google. https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/survive-online-without-google/ Please help out and let's support ProtonMail, Vimeo, FireFox and the rest of the alternatives. Thanks in advance, Julie

Hello Pythonistas, My amazing team at Thinkerbell Labs <https://www.projectmudra.com/> has been working hard to put Braille within the reach of 39,000,000 visually impaired people across the world. This started as a Raspberry Pi + Python project that was displayed at PyCon Montreal in 2014. We have come a long way ever since. This year our flagship product Annie, a handy Braille tutor, has been selected as a finalist by ASME iShow - one of the world's biggest hardware innovation showcases. The next round is a social voting round and your vote will help us stand a chance to win, and go a long way in encouraging everyone who's been working hard to solve this extremely challenging problem. Please try to spare a minute for your vote. Here's the voting link : http://wshe.es/F3biLIpy Thank you! Regards, Shrreya Bhatachaarya
