Ledger-live-desktop: Using smartbit instead of blockchain.info
When clicking on the View in Explorer button on a transaction, we are redirected to blockchain.info.
Would it be possible to use smartbit instead?
I think it would be healthy to decrease reliance on them for privacy reason.
Blockchain.info is used for a huge number of wallet and lot's of people access their API and block explorer, this is very interesting information for chain analysis companies. And I do not trust them to not make profit out of it.

Problem for this one is it gets the explorer url from a separate repo and although refactoring it to be an array instead of a single url would be easy enough, this is not the only app relying on it. Overriding the explorer locally on your app might be easier..

Overriding the setting for myself do not solve the privacy issue.
The problem is that everyone are leaking their transaction to blockchain.info, not just me.

@juan-cortes yeah we can probably consider switching to an array with many choices and introducing a new settings to select it.
