I just learnt about the search engine Ecosia which claims to use its advertising revenue to plant trees. I was going through their website and they seem legitimate on the surface but I wanted to check if its bs or not before using it.

    Thanks for the answer! I’ve been using DDG for the last few months and it is also bad anything map related or at localizing things (DDG also bad with news, it reverts to MSN alot as a news aggregator) )I will have to use Ecosia to real compare the two but their tree planting idea has made curios enough to try it. Thanks again

      Yeah the tree planting and the fact that they seem very open about their funding and where it goes drew me in. I Google random shit all the time so I figure might as well do good for it rather than using Google search and all the crap AI that comes with it that uses absurd amounts of energy and fuel.
