Womit „googelt“ Ihr?
(Bitte teilen für besseres Ergebnis!)
Ugh, I noticed that Ecosia’s results got considerably worse recently. Then now I want to check and they’re now grabbing results from Google instead of Bing. Their Help page says I should have a config to choose if I want Google or Bing, but I don’t.
The Google results are fucking awful, wtf. Wtf happened to google in the last few years, that’s wild.
Alternativen zur Google Suche
Vielen fällt der Umstieg auf andere Suchmaschinen schwer und ich verstehe das Problem nicht.

Signal and Telegram messaging. #Signal #Telegram
Bolt for ride-hailing services. #Bolt
Vivaldi and Librewolf for privacy-focused browsing. #Vivaldi #Librewolf
Ecosia for environmentally friendly searches. #Ecosia
OpenWeather for open-source weather information. #OpenWeather
An #unplugtrump kann man sich ja ziemlich gut abarbeiten. Vor allem an den „Grenzfällen“:
Was ist mit #Bitwarden ?
Oder mit #Ecosia ?
Nur zwei Beispiele von vielen, die mich immer wieder auf den Teppich zurückholen. 80:20 ist schon viel, finde ich. 100% hieße letztlich auf IT überhaupt zu verzichten. Das kann und will ich aber nicht.
My DeGoogle Journey is going great so far!
Moving away from Google and big tech has been both fun and surprisingly easy. Here are some of the recent switches I’ve made:
Gmail → Proton Mail
Google Drive → Proton Drive
Chrome → Vivaldi
Google Search → Ecosia
Google Home → Home Assistant
FB Messenger → Signal
ChatGPT → LeChat (Mistral AI)
For streaming, I’m exploring ArteTV alongside other free Scandinavian services.
I’m also looking into Plex as a long-term alternative. Seems like I’ll need a NAS for that—any recommendations?
Do you use Plex? Please share your tips and experiences.
Estoy probando otro buscador europeo: #Ecosia.
En Firefox para Android no aparece por defecto, pero se puede usar esta cadena: https://www.ecosia.org/search?method=index&q=%s
Is dat bij mij nu een local dingetje? Maar telkens als ik naar pixelfed.social wil, via #fedilab of #ecosia browser krijg ik een #cloudflare fout. Zowel via WiFi als via de data bundel. Da's toch raar
@doktorlond Is it true that #ecosia and #qwant may join forces?
I recently switched from #ecosia to #duckduckgo - but I find I have to switch back to avoid getting #ai stuffed in my throat!
I've disabled ai feature several times but they keep being switched back. #wtf !
… nach und nach befreie ich mich von den Tech-Trumpisten … facebook habe ich verlassen, twitter/x ebenfalls; ziehe von whatsapp zu #Signal um und habe gerade meinen Apple Developer Account gekündigt, gleich gehts weiter mit der Löschung meines Amazon-Accounts … und ich nutze statt #google nur noch #Ecosia – Die Suchmaschine, die Bäume pflanzt https://www.ecosia.org/ #musk #x #facebook #meta #amazon #Apple #AppleDeveloper #trump #Tech #unplugtrump #whatsapp
@pheasant_plucker @Mojeek start page, after some redditors from r/#BuyFromEU made some digging, turns out not to be European. Stay with #Qwant or #Ecosia. The best what we’ve got right now. They have joined forces to make a #European search engine.
Joining the #European #propaganda team. Here you go: a short guide on how to become a digitally sovereign European citizen.
@alexlunaview switched to #Ecosia on my devices to try it out.
Their cookie consent is intrusive, blocking most of the results on my phone.
Sadly it pops up every time I search because I use private tabs by default.
I’ll keep it for a while but I have a feeling this will get old.
I ditched #Kagi for a similar reason: I had to login again for every search I did. Apparently this is fixed on later iOS versions but I’m not ready to turn my iPhone 8 into e-waste “.
Some people asked about the deadlines of the project, and Qwant blog gives some ideas about it.
Quotes:
"Ecosia and Qwant reveal a new joint venture, European Search Perspective (EUSP), to develop and build search engine infrastructure in Europe.
Starting in 2025, the venture will aim to serve improved search engine results in both the French and German language, based on Qwant technologies that have been totally redesigned since 2023.
The firm has plans to start serving Qwant and Ecosia’s France-based search engine traffic by the Q1 in 2025, and Germany by the end of the year."

After using #DuckDuckGo for almost fifteen years, I've just switched to #Ecosia. I also tried #Qwant for a while, but I'm often getting captchaed because I use a vpn. But I prefer Ecosia's UI anyways
Unabhängig von #Google und #Bing: #Ecosia und #Qwant kooperieren
Wir HABEN 2025
Das ist mal eine Information, die etwas Hoffnung macht auf Souveränität in der #EU Aber ich hoffe, dass dann auch im Hintergrund keine Infrastruktur läuft, von der man sich dann wieder abhängig macht, wie z.B. #AWS usw.
