Ecosia and Qwant today reveal a new joint venture, European Search Perspective (EUSP), to develop and build search engine infrastructure in Europe. EUSP aims to contribute to digital sovereignty within Europe and ensure the continent has a strong, independent alternative to existing search technologies.
While this is definitely good news, it’s also two years old news. EUSP has been taken in use in France since last year, and this year it expanded to Germany.
I have ecosia as standard and put my query in DuckDuckGo if Ecosia doesn’t get me good results. Barely ever am i in need of a third engine and this extra effort is definitely worth it compared to the drawbacks of using Google.

PS: In case some of you have used/tried Ecosia, and have been annoyed by the existence of the AI button, you can now disable it in the settings.
Germany rollout was last week. That is still news.
Ive ecosia to give lackluster search results though
Of course depending on what you are searching for
