Your tech choices matter more than ever. That’s why at Mozilla, we believe in empowering users to make informed decisions that align with their values. In that spirit, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Ecosia, a search engine that prioritizes sustainability, and social impact.

Did you know you could choose the search engine of your choice right from your Firefox URL bar? Whether you prioritize privacy, climate protection, or simply want a search experience tailored to your preferences, we’ve got you covered.

Ecosia goes beyond data protection by addressing environmental concerns. Every search made through the search engine contributes to tree-planting projects worldwide, helping to combat deforestation and regenerate the planet. Ecosia planted over 215 million trees, across the planet biodiversity hotspots, making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change. Just like Mozilla, they are committed to creating a better internet, and world, for everyone.

Together, Mozilla, Firefox and Ecosia are contributing to a web that is more open and inclusive, but above all — one where you can make an informed choice about what tech you use and why. Your tech choices make a difference.

As Firefox and Mozilla continue to champion user empowerment and innovation, we invite you to join us in shaping a web that makes the world better. Together, let’s make a positive impact — one search at a time.

Ecosia being any better in this regard would be news to me. They also rely on ads for funding.

Oh they’ve been getting worse for sure but Bing is still worse. I’ve used the Bing index via DuckDuckGo for years and it’s quite bad.

I now use Kagi which uses both Google and Bing indices (among others) and it’s much better and I think most of that is because the Google index is used.

I keep hearing about Kagi, maybe I should try it sometime.

DDG has been quite serviceable to me, however. If I can’t find something I can just add a quick !g to my already existing query and look it up on Google instead, which I’ve found rather convenient.
