I use Ecosia, it plants trees with the profits from its ad revenue! Results are sourced from Bing and Google.
This worked, thanks!
Solution: Go to Settings > Home > Enable Shortcuts > Go to a new tab > Google will be pinned by default, hover over the Google icon > Click on the 3 dots menu > Unpin
Yes, my default search engine is Ecosia.
I haven’t changed it manually though, I installed their extension and it changed the default; if this matters in any way.
You don’t need internet to access the passwords stored in Bitwarden if you have their local clients installed. It stores an encrypted copy of your database locally to your device which syncs (updates) over the internet.
Just FYI, in India the president (head of the state) is more or less a ceremonial figure. It’s the prime minister (head of the government) that you’re probably talking about.
There’s also https://justbeamit.com which iirc also functions in a similar way.
They aren’t E2EE by default. You have to enable it manually.
They also run bookwyrm.world! A fediverse alternative of Goodreads.
Their generous offering of 10gigabytes of free storage along with a private, ad-free, end-to-end encrypted experience always sounded too good to be true. There was no way they could sustain that business model long term. At least they’re giving users enough time to jump ship and have not sold their data to Notion (judging by their twitter replies).
they don’t “plant trees” but rather contribute very little amounts to existing programmes
Ofcourse they don’t plant trees themselves, it’s a search engine with a small team. They donate their entire profit which averages upwards of a million euros every month, to local tree planting initiatives across the world and that isn’t a ‘little’ number at all.
“Every search plants a tree” is a lie. It’s not every search, but rather every couple clicks on an ad
I agree, they were ‘a bit’ misleading with that in the past. Although they did state in their tree counter earlier and somewhere in their website/blog that it was roughly 45 searches (in Germany, depends on region) which raised enough money to plant a tree. They’ve since removed most, if not all of the misinformation.
They use Bing results making them useless
Since when does using Bing results make a search engine a ‘scam’? DuckDuckGo also uses Bing results, would you call that a scam as well? Ecosia uses Bing search results because it’s close to impossible to make an independent search engine which gives satisfactory results without the resources of a tech giant.
It’s so ridiculous when corporations steal everyone’s work for their own profit, no one bats an eye but when a group of individuals do the same to make education and knowledge free for everyone it’s somehow illegal, unethical, immoral and what not.
Under the same umbrella, instagram is dead unless you’re selling something.
Instagram is far from dead. It is quite popular in South Asia and actually the social media of choice for many teens.
@Frellwit@lemmy.world is right, the following FAQ is from the uBO’s YouTube Mega Thread on reddit.
How often should I manually update filter lists? Can I somehow automate this?
YouTube filters are in a list named
uBlock filters - Quick fixes
. The list updates every 12 hours. It’s the only list you might need to update - only if this page says it’s fixed, but you’re getting the message.
If you’re not getting detected. Don’t update. Current estimated cost for just ONE of uBO’s CDNs: HERE. This is with other lists updating every few days. uBO’s not a company, it’s a volunteer project using free services, which have limits that we cannot cross.
Oh wow, I didn’t know it’s used for research and policy discussions as well! That’s pretty neat.
Yup, it says 390 million for Twitter, you might have mixed it up with LinkedIn’s 930 million.
Surprised to see LinkedIn’s 930 million MAU! I might have heard someone mention it irl like 2 times my whole life? But maybe that’s cuz I’m not in the job market yet.
The recent advent of governments worldwide trying to force corporations to build backdoors into their services for the ‘safety of children’ or to ‘counter terrorism’ arguably does more harm than good for the common people.
