Comment on YSK that Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, will donate all profits on September 13th (tomorrow) to victims of the recent Moroccan earthquake

  I could be convinced that the search engine itself isn’t profiling me.

  But if by virtue of loading the ad, the advertiser gains my IP address, MAC address, and a fingerprint based on things like my installed fonts, then that’s not really privacy in any meaningful sense.

    It’s just a couple links at the top. It doesn’t load in any custom HTML/JS or iframe afaik.

      Okay, if that’s the case then that is a perfectly reasonable implementation.
