Ecosia adds “contractually forced” Microsoft Clarity tracking (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/about-clarity | privacy faq : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/faq#privacy), which will record the behaviour of users on the website. Recording clics, size, and more.
They will also add an optional Google setting. Enabling the cookie will allow to get search results from Google, but also to get tracked by Google.
Optional Microsoft advertising tracking is still a thing, tho it may not be necessary if Bing can get a fingerprint and behaviour of the user in real time…
This may be the final flow for Ecosia for me. Unless somehow the Microsoft Clarity can be private… But I don’t think so.

It’s fine, it’s bing with a portion of profit going to charity (tree planting)
The option to use google search instead while still having part of the profit going to charity also isn’t a bad thing
If you’re using either then this is the more ethical option
Kagi advertisers are out in force today.
all the more reason to keep using ublock origin.
Not sure using Ecosia has any benefit if using ublock to block everything.
SearXNG has the answer(s)
RIP
Ecosias results are almost as bad as DDGs.
Just get kagi and remember what good web searching feels like.
I’d rather never use a search engine again than pay $10 a month for one
How would you even function on the internet without one?
Knowing the sites you use
What kind of job do you do that never requires research?
I thought we were talking about a personal setting and weren’t including internal search engines but there are many jobs that don’t require it
