Browser search results depend on more than your search terms. Companies buy premium placement so sometimes, no matter how you change your search, your first 100 (?) results will reflect who paid, not what is most accurate. There has been so much tweaking of search results to maximize profits that Internet results, to me, are nearly useless. If not for Ecosia, I would return to books. Ecosia provides not just more accurate search results, but the results list also pulls from the available sites, not just those which have paid to bother you, so that your results include results from smaller companies/websites/non-profits. Your results will be delightful again not grimly exhausting. There is so much garbage on the internet now - ‘articles’ which don’t answer a single question, ‘articles’ filled with so many other advertisements you’ll be lucky to read the results - that the internet has smothered itself. On the larger browsers, it is obnoxiously obvious that whatever you look at exists SOLELY to sell you other stuff. I’ve pulled up ten ‘articles’ in a row which were entirely useless per any definitive information but also so filled with popup ads running that I couldn’t have read it if I’d wanted to. It’s not that there are no popup ads attempting to direct you to other sites or ‘articles’ that clearly exist to direct you elsewhere on Ecosia, but I’ve yet to click on an article that I had to give up on in disgust.

It works just as well as (if not better than) google. They use their profits to fight the climate crisis.
