    Is it a surprise? Bing is controlled by M$, and their search results are taken by Qwant and DDG. Ecosia also runs with google results so it isn’t affected.

      Brave Search also returns results for it just fine as well. Which makes sense given they run with their own indexing now (with fallbacks to Google and Bing only when requested).

      Jokes on you, i tried using qwant and they just straight up deny me access because using a VPN apparently is “suspicious”.

      Wait Ecosia switched from Bing to Google?

      Startpage was the only commercial search engine indexing Google from my knowledge.

            Wow I’ve learned something new today. From the ads I have clicked on ecosia it always used a bing redirect. Perhaps it also kinda depends on region? I assume yahoo ads aren’t as popular/good paying in the EU as bing
