    Ecosia for me. I still find myself asking Google for stock prices and such, but other than that it’s ok. Berlin based apparently, plus I like that they plant trees for every search you do. I don’t like that they have sponsored links at the top but I suppose that’s how it goes.

        Bing and / or Google (you can choose).

        But their working together with QWANT on their own search engine.

        And from a privacy perspective I’d argue, that it’s still better to use Ecosia / QWANT.

        Not sure, I have to look into it more. When I switched last year, it was just because I liked the green initiative. It wasn’t really that serious for me beyond that.
