atheist98447y"powered by bing" puts me off I'm afraid, last time I experimented it performed poorly on academic topics, quite often substituting some pop topic of questionable relation, but it's been a while.

@alwaysmpe I'd expect it to be better. Microsoft is doing well in the field of AI and some other services to the best of my knowledge

@matsaki95 well even though it's bing they still claim to "respect your privacy" and which search engine did you say has a dark theme?

moagggi7817yI just wanted to mention, that they're from Germany. This makes me trust it almost to 100%. 😂 Side note: I'm from Germany 👌🤗

kinda long but please read (skip to the bullets if you're lazy):
hey dR. I stumpled across a search engine that aims to help the environment. it's called "Ecosia" and it will plant a tree for every ~45 searches you make. just think, one stubborn bug could make you the reason for a new forest! I'm not sure if it's legitimate or not, but apparently it uses 80% of its profits to plant trees, and makes that profit from ads. is it safe to use? I'm not sure.
here is what you should know (some are based on claims by ecosia and aren't proved, but probably true):
- they plant a tree for about every 45 searches you make
- they are able to plant trees by using money from ads
- they "respect privacy"
- they're "fully transparent"
- they're a "social buisness"
- [I hope this isn't a turnoff] the search results are powered by bing
- since 1.9, vivaldi has included ecosia as one of the preset search engines (I'm not sure if it's the default)
- it has opera, firefox, and chrome extensions
thanks!
