I’m kind of disappointed in ecosia for implementing a new feature that would send user data to Microsoft and Google. I liked it not only for it’s environmental mission but also because it had decent privacy.

    Yeah, but if you read their old privacy policy and their new one, you can clearly see that their new policy is basically saying "We care about your privacy, but Bing and Google don't. So blame them." Obviously, I am vulgarizing, but this is how it feels.

      Well, that's essentially what it boils down to. Now it's up to users to decide based on their respective threat models whether they wanna use Ecosia or not.
