I've been using @ecosia for several weeks. Its privacy protection is less strict than DuckDuckGo's, but otherwise, it's a very usable #search engine, on par with #Google (no surprise, since it uses their index). If you keep using Google because you can't get used to other search engines, consider Ecosia. You'll get the same results, and while Google would use the profits from your searches to build more data centers for AI, Ecosia will use them to plant trees.
