Wrong forum. Ecosia is not very good for privacy.
Can you elaborate on that?
for starters, it’s Cloudflared.
They admit to be sending your IP to Bing with every search too.
“For example, when you do a search on Ecosia we forward the following information to our partner, Bing: IP address, user agent string, search term, and some settings like your country and language setting”
So basically like using Chrome with Bing it sounds like. They don’t even anonymize the query before sending it. Zero privacy.
Thanks, that’s good to know
Yeah, tbf Ecosia is an alternative to Google and an ethical one on top of that, but not private.
I’d recommend it on a work system
Yeah. I use it but wouldn’t post about it here.
