Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
@voxel @privacy Your formatting isn't consistant. Some sections are left justified some are centered.
Also try typing posts out into a word processer to catch spelling errors.
Some proper names are capitalized in some parts and not in others.
You recommended Brave search but admittedly didn't reaearch it.
Nice post.
There's something extra to keep about: They also load thumbnails direct from Bing - if you search "Hello world" you should get some video thumbnails. So that's more IP leakage to Bing.
Their results page includes a referrer meta tag with value "origin-when-cross-origin" so your browser will disclose that you're searching from Ecosia (but not what you're searching for).
Great writeup! I like how you broke down the privacy policy piece by piece. Good luck on future articles!
The fact you linked Disroots Cryptpad tells me you should also be using search.disroot.org too, no? From my digging around, SearX is as private as it gets plus the Disroot team is more transparent and trustworthy than Ecosia in my book. But solid job with your first article!
