I like to search images over the #Internet and I've been trying different search engines and I find that #Ecosia may be the best option. I noticed that there are much more #pictures displayed than the others. Am I right? Is Ecosia the best one or are there others? #Images

#DataPrivacyWeek Day 4

#Surveillance by #BigTech companies poses a big threat to our privacy.

In light of this, switching to a #privacy-friendly search engine is a quick and easy way to help you keep your online experience private. 🔒

What is your preferred privacy-oriented #SearchEngine? Do you use different ones for regular and private searches?

lmao, signed into #Kagi in order to cancel my subscription, and they're having such severe technical issues that I can't even do that right now 😂

In their defense, this is literally the first time in 6+ months I've ever encountered any tech issues with them.

But it's funny timing!

I'm dumbfounded to find Ecosia's new 'AI Chat' feature. Surely, they must know how unsustainable AI is? Am I the only that feels this way?

It’s hilarious that an article like this exists and that it’s marked as a eco friendly website on #ecosia #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

Una consulta en #ChatGPT consume tres veces más energía que una consulta en #Google.
Pensemos si realmente necesitamos preguntar tanto a sistemas de IA o si ya tenemos tecnologías menos costosas. 🙏

Die Suchmaschine #Ecosia will jetzt Google-Suchergebnisse liefern und dafür Google-Cookies nutzen und offenbar meine IP auch an Google weitergeben. Weiß das jemand einzuordnen?

#Ecosia hat die Datenschutzbedingungen aktualisiert.

Explizit weggefallen ist der Teil, dass die letzten zwei Segmente der IP-Adresse "verschleiert" werden.

Stattdessen werden zukünftig explizit Suchbegriffe UND IP-Adresse an Bing und, bei Zustimmung, an Google übermittelt.

Sehr schade, ich halte von Ecosia als Unternehmen viel, aber der Wegfall der "Verschleierung" vor Übertragung ist ein echter Rückschritt.

Judita reads about the EU “Digital Services Act" definition of some online platforms as “gatekeepers”

“One more word of #EU slang. As a user, do I need all this regulation?”

She closed #Chrome on her #Android phone, turned to her #Windows laptop, opened 3 tabs: for #WhatsApp, #LinkedIn and #Gmail. She received a video link, and opened #YouTube. Her #Instagram account blipped

She stopped for a second. She had just used 7 of the 11 #gatekeepers apps...

I changed my default search engine from #DuckduckGo to #Ecosia .

voxel, 9 months ago to privacy

Ecosia, is it really so private?

A article about if Ecosia is really a private search engine.
I did spend a lot a time to analyze and investigate Ecosia, I hope this article helps people to better understand how private is Ecosia really and which are the downsides of it. Is the first article I ever written, so it isn't perfect. I'm open for feedback!

Right now if you search for "country in Africa that starts with the letter K":

• DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.

• Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.

This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:

"There are no countries in Africa that start with K."
"What about Kenya?"
"Kenya suck deez nuts?"

Hab die letzten Wochen intensiv #Ecosia genutzt. Ich muss leider sagen, dass die Suchergebnisse bei weitem nicht mit #Google mithalten können. 😕

Bossito, 10 months ago to firefox Portuguese

Usei o #Firefox 🦊 durante anos, já nem me lembro porque me mudei para o Chrome. Estou agora a tentar fazer o caminho inverso. Muito simples, instalar e passar os dados para lá. Tudo suave.

PS: Estranhamente vem com o Google como motor predefinido, mudei para o PatoPatoVai a ver se ganho o hábito. Pensando melhor vou mudar para o #Ecosia, sempre se plantam umas árvores.
