I came across this video about Ecosia , a tree planting search engine : Short synopsis: Participate in reforestation by changing your default search engine to Ecosia . Really, that's all it takes! http://ecosia.org Ditching Google Search is also a good idea because they block independent sources . # boycottgooglesearch Let's not only raise our voice, but take part in changing the world. Thank you for caring AND sharing. My experience My friend told me then that Ecosia is too bad from google that he had to return to google , though he admitted that was some time ago and was curious if it is still so. So, I kept my attention high since seeing that video and putting my default search engine on ecosia and I compared . I am not sure it is as bad as it was then, but here it is... Ecosia often doesn't put the things I am really looking for on top of the results as much as google does. They appear very low, sometimes even not on the first page of 10 re
