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.

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!

Just switch to Ecosia.
