It's shit.
- You have to enable ads for it to work.
- It defaults to your IP location to set the default language.
- You can't one click toggle to English / International like with DDG but have to go through a drop down menu.
- Search results ertr hot garbage when I used it.
At least it got a native dark mode now I guess but it's still unusable for me.
-
Search results are the exact same as Bing iirc.
-
i get the rest of the points but ads? they need to get the revenue to actually plant the trees 🤨
-
many missunderstand that. And have adblocker activated.

And I will never click on ads, I can't even stand seeing them, so there would be no revenue anyway. I want search results, not what some algorithm thinks should become my next shopping trip.

i very well understand the sentiment but there are exceptions, this is one kinda clever way to make money without relying on someone emptying their wallets for the sake of trees, which, considering they may be already donating to other sources, could be an addition.
