Comment on Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever!
Redex68@lemmy.world 7 hours agoYeah but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Among other things, they just recently announced that they’re starting to build an alternative index with Qwant.
I’ve never heard of Ecosia, but I don’t understand your logic on this.
Problem: Google bad!
Solution: Don’t use google, use Ecosia instead.
Error: Ecosia also uses google.
How is this a good move? If anything it’s just a lateral move with the same problem.
Eventually they’ll stop using G and MAYBE they have better impact in the climate. Why be a fucking prick about it?
Same logic for using Brave instead of Chrome. It is better than using Chrome proper, even if it has cons.
Definitely true. I’ll have to try it out. Is Ecosia better than DuckDuckGo or Kagi?

I’m using Qwant, used Ecosia before. Really OK for most stuff. I still revert to googling occasionally - mainly for local businesses on maps and sometimes shopping results. But I agree, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, well said.

In Ecosia’s settings you can set it to primarily use Google results instead of Bing. Makes it a lot more enjoyable to use.
