Anyone able to chime in on differences with Ecosia?
They're both very similar.
Both still use Google and Bing for part of their search results (albeit with the search queries somewhat anonymised). And both have been working together on a European search index which they have been slowly rolling out over the past year orso now.
Ecosia differentiates itself from the competition by using part of their profits to plant trees, and by promising that their servers are run on renewable energy.
Personally I use Ecosia over Qwant, because I found the search results for news articles to be a bit better. But ultimately both are very similar.
