I used it as my primary browser on my laptop/desktop. I supported the cause and through my usage I planted +150 trees, but the trade-off is steepening so I'm going to have to jump ship.

I'll be pivoting to DuckDuckGo as my main search engine, and use Brave for more nuanced/specific results.

And DDG while you’re at it. At least if you wanna be concerned about CEOs.

How so ?

DDG is untrustworthy because it is US-based, and because its CEO and founder is also the founder of “The Names Database”
