| 2024-12-06 |  | | en | Pretty good, I just wish you were allowed to customize your background to anything, not just the set trees. It also does not give as much information as Google, nor does it pull up any tools I might need when I search for them. Oh, Also: If you do attempt to remove this browser extension, it will come back. I did to try to change my Google Background to a new one, but it still shows that it is on my Google. |
| 2024-12-01 |  | | en | Works great :) The only thing that Google does better is the information that's integrated right in the search results. Like when you google "weather <town>" it shows you the weather directly, without you having to click on a link. Or the unit-calculator when you google something like "5 inch in cm". Ecosia does that for translating words though. Apart from that, I see no reason to ever go back. |

| 2024-10-24 |  | | en | Ive been using it for a while but i was trying to get it to not be on all my accounts, since i only have it on one account, and i couldnt figure out how. Although, i saw that it automaticly has acces to protected content ids, payment handelers, and sign in information. Very very suspicious if you ask me. this is wrong, very wrong. |
