* '''[https://www.ecosia.org/ Ecosia]''' ('''Environmental Tip''') is not known for being a very privacy friendly search engine (though they are working on it), but for it's "greenness". Ecosia has advertisement, but donates a large portion if it's advertising revenue to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reforestation reforestation] projects and other environmental causes. ❗️Ecosia is hosted on Cloudflare and their image search depends on Bing (Microsoft), but the websearch works even if you block connections to Bing. I use Ecosia as my primary search engine, because sometimes you have to prioritize and I think saving the planet is more important than my privacy. Also I am quite confident I am doing enough to make sure I'm not leaking too much data while using Ecosia. | * '''[https://www.ecosia.org/ Ecosia]''' ('''Environmental Tip''') is not known for being a very privacy friendly search engine (though they are working on it), but for it's "greenness".
