Ecosia, is it really so private?
A article about if Ecosia is really a private search engine.
I did spend a lot a time to analyze and investigate Ecosia, I hope this article helps people to better understand how private is Ecosia really and which are the downsides of it. Is the first article I ever written, so it isn’t perfect. I’m open for feedback!

@voxel @privacy Your formatting isn’t consistant. Some sections are left justified some are centered.
Also try typing posts out into a word processer to catch spelling errors.
Some proper names are capitalized in some parts and not in others.
You recommended Brave search but admittedly didn’t reaearch it.

@staustellsimon @privacy Oh. Thank you for pointing this out to me.
The fact you linked Disroots Cryptpad tells me you should also be using search.disroot.org too, no? From my digging around, SearX is as private as it gets plus the Disroot team is more transparent and trustworthy than Ecosia in my book. But solid job with your first article!
Great writeup! I like how you broke down the privacy policy piece by piece. Good luck on future articles!
@staustellsimon @privacy Yea. It’s my typewise, I though about making it
more “standard”, but I decided to keep the personal touch.
