Psh, nah I don’t care, and I don’t think this person was intentionally reposting. I think they just had the same idea. Plus, this post is more popular, and I want everyone to plant as many trees as they can!

Worth mentioning, that its an german non-profit project. Also it uses Bing’s Search-Engine.

It’s shit.

  • You have to enable ads for it to work.
  • It defaults to your IP location to set the default language.
  • You can’t one click toggle to English / International like with DDG but have to go through a drop down menu.
  • Search results ertr hot garbage when I used it.

At least it got a native dark mode now I guess but it’s still unusable for me.

i get the rest of the points but ads? they need to get the revenue to actually plant the trees 🤨

And I will never click on ads, I can’t even stand seeing them, so there would be no revenue anyway. I want search results, not what some algorithm thinks should become my next shopping trip.

i very well understand the sentiment but there are exceptions, this is one kinda clever way to make money without relying on someone emptying their wallets for the sake of trees, which, considering they may be already donating to other sources, could be an addition.

Search results are the exact same as Bing iirc.

I was thinking about it because I recalled people using it, and was wondering if it had its own search engine or they were just embedding Google or Bing in their page. Apparently it is the latter.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
