HuudaHarkitenI love Ecosia because I love trees and will keep using them until I can afford kagi or something.
But one thing that drives me through the wall.. If I search something in my native language, because I want results that are in my native language, google/bing (which ecosia uses) decides to translate reddit posts for me and Ecosia slaps them to the top of the results. Its rather annoying.
kazernielI have the same experience and it drives me to nuts - if I wanted English results, I’d search in English!
Its such a weird thing to do. Especially when you click the translated link and it opens a page that is not translated. So if they think they are “helping” people who don’t know the language, how exactly does it help that they translate the title and half a sentence in the search results.
SeductiveTortoiseYes, but they probably know that none of us speaks English, so it wants to help us because we are idiots.
Wait, thinking about that…
Mandatory reminder: Ecosia plants zero trees unless you click on ads.
Hear hear.
Its the only website in my adblocker whitelist.
@HuudaHarkiten @blah3166 The defaulting to google translate links is one thing I'm not liking about Ecosia.
