In this podcast, I chat with people fighting for a better web in their own way: accessibility experts, privacy advocates, developers pushing web standards forward, anti-monopoly voices, and people building alternatives to Big Tech tools. I hope you'll join me in meeting these inspiring individuals and hearing what it actually takes to build a more open, inclusive internet.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T00:17:55.873791+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-a-better-web-7035190"},"episode":{"title":"Navigating Europe's Digital Frontier","slug":"navigating-europe-s-digital-frontier","published_at":"2024-08-27T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-a-better-web-7035190/navigating-europe-s-digital-frontier","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-a-better-web-7035190","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/forabetterweb/episodes/Navigating-Europes-Digital-Frontier-e2nke1a","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/fa587fdc/podcast/play/90895850/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2024-7-27%2F385387524-44100-2-c39c749f0103b.m4a","summary":"In this engaging first episode, we sit down with Jón von Tetzchner, CEO of Vivaldi, and Laurent Ach, CTO of Qwant, to discuss the unique missions and values of Vivaldi and Qwant—two European tech pioneers committed to privacy, innovation, and user empowerment.
