@Techaltar : anyone familiar with Qwant history will tell you to not have any hope if Qwant is involved in something.

And, as far is I know, Ecosia has never been more than green-washing advertisement so, yeah, I’m not thrilled.

Depending on what you read, AI-augmented search uses 8 times as much energy and water as regular search.

So Ecosia, if it was ever truly environmentally beneficial, almost certainly became a net negative for the environment once it incorporated AI.

I was excited by this announcement because I immediately assumed Ecosia and Qwant were ditching AI. I was wrong.
