    They don't donate their profits to charitable causes. Don't understand why this is being marked as an 'alternative' to Ecosia. I haven't used it and I'm not saying it's bad.

    Although Mojeek doesn't plant trees as you search, it's sustainably hosted in an energy-efficient datacenter. It's even more private and independent than Ecosia, because Mojeek creates it's own search index while Ecosia is powered by Bing and has to share some info with Microsoft.
