"Use our service because we plant trees!" is really just marketing bullshit. They're not saving the environment, they're running a monoculture tree farm which creates long term profit.
Saying that though I switched to Ecosia from DDG because it just formats the results better imo. It would be nice if Firefox at least included it in the default search engine list so you didn't have to hunt around to add it.
Nope.
