This is where you and I come in, to make people aware of all these gems that already exists, built by volunteers, truly decentralized, but because nobody really "owns" the service, nobody is going to run an ad campaign for it.

@randahl i disagree with ecosia listed there.
>The search results of the search engine come from either Bing or Google. Which index is used depends on the users' preference, the location and the device type.
@utf_7 @randahl it is true that Ecosia uses Google/Bing, but there are not really many other "native" index available, and alternatives use those or somehow fallback to those in a point. Ecosia and Qwant want to create one, but so far there is no truly European alternative. Any other search engine basically uses Google and/or Bing as index (or they fallback to it ina point). The only alternative would be SearXNG, but you need to be careful on what instance you use (trust is on your own there)
