alternative search engine

Hello everybody!

Stumbled upon a list of eco-friendly search engines https://ecoripples.com/the-12-best-ecof … h-engines/

Tried
'ecosia', USA based, donates for tree planting

https://www.ecosia.org/

'rapusia', South Africa based, donates for children and animals

https://rapusia.org/

'oceanhero', Germany based, donates for cleaning the ocean from plastic garbage

https://oceanhero.today/

all three worked fine with my primary browser 'luakit'
while DDG, SearX and StartPage often caused crashes /never liked DDG results anyway/

'rapusia' guarantees privacy on their front page
for the other two I didnt see such announcement

will test them for a few days to see the results' relevency before choosing one.
you can check the full list to see if there is an engine that donates for a cause you believe in.

Re: alternative search engine

I've tried Ecosia in the past, but not the other two. Ecosia seemed OK, but it was pulling its results straight from Bing, and I like a search engine that does a bit more than just Bing results. DDG works pretty goood for me in that regard. SwissCows.com is another alternative search engine I've enjoyed using in the past.
