      pros, cons and recent comments
      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.

      Google Search vs Ecosia opinions
      This alternative is disputed. Google Search is still a legitimate alternative to Ecosia, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
      One is a charity search engine, while Google is not.
