If you live in the EU, Google and Apple will ask you if you want to choose Ecosia (again). Here's all you need to know.

      Basically a Bing front-end that uses ad money to plant trees.

      Most search engines are just bing. Search engines are roughly in the same state of non-diversity as web browsers :/

          Why not use DDG or something (also Bing) and just donate like $5 or whatever to a tree planting service?
