Ecosia is great in general, they’ve done stuff like this before for wildfires and such, and they are carbin negative and use 100% of their profits for helping the planet
The search engine is also pretty good too!

I made the switch to Ecosia because it’s basically the same as DDG but it gives me the option of going to Google Maps as a link, rather than always having to type the !g tag.
Yeah, and it also has the feature where if you want to search something on google just put #g in the search and it auto redirects to google like bangs!
Yeah both DDG and Ecosia have the shortcuts, what annoyed me with DDG was that if you searched for something then clicked a Map result it took you into Apple Maps, which was crap. With Ecosia when you click Maps it just gives you a choice between Google and Bing - with DDG I’d always click the link and then have to go back and type in the bang.
Oh I didn’t even know that!
I dunno, I used to use ecosia and eventually switched back to Google because ecosia kept giving me bad or irrelevant search results compared to Google. That was a couple years ago, is it worth it giving it another try?
Both Ecosia and DDG use Bing for their back end. I still find myself throwing in a !g occassionally when I don’t like the results, but frankly Google has gone down hill and isn’t much better a lot of the time.
