I’m kind of disappointed in ecosia for implementing a new feature that would send user data to Microsoft and Google. I liked it not only for it’s environmental mission but also because it had decent privacy.

Yeah wanted to use them before, but it’s a solid no go. Can’t see this search engine living for long…

Just started using their search engine about 2 months ago, as soon as I heard the news I just dropped it.

I like the idea but if I want to send data to bing I’d use bing tbh.
