Does your search engine’s name begin with B, D or G? It’s ethical score is at best “average” and at worst “poor”. @ethicalconsumer took a look and weren’t impressed.

Have you taken a look?

Check out the search engine starting with M. You’re supporting the top scoring ethical option which quietly leads on privacy protection, the climate, tax conduct etc.

        I'm currently working on a new project: a personalized local that first looks at your (with auto-tagging feature via a small embedded ML model, that does not work 100% well with real cases (works pretty well with my test content, tough :p)) and then tries to fetch results from other search engines, à la seeks/searx/searxng.

        This is based on an idea/software by @technomancy@hey.hagelb.org: https://search.technomancy.us/. Follow the links at the bottom of the page for nice articles detailing his motivations and reasoning,

        There's still lots of work but i'm pretty proud of my UI (i'm still quite a noob with CSS, so when i do something a bit coherent i'm happy) and tag searching works honestly great for now. I'll need to see in the future what happens when the bookmark collection grows.

        I'm happy!

          This is what happens when a company is not-for-profit.

          Back in April, the Ecosia community collectively financed over 1 million trees — as well as solar farms and regenerative agriculture 💚

          Your searches can fund this instead of billionaire shareholders.

          Just switch to Ecosia.
