I'm not sure how adding AI is helping the trees. It makes me wonder if their whole mission was a scam for the years I used it. It also just has worse results than google, which is terrible, since google has awful results as well.

les 3 ou 4 premières recherches, si ce n'est plus, sont des pubs. La première étant pour Amazon.Genre : recherche "mon -beau -frère" >>>découvrez les promos sur mon beau-frère. Dans le genre écologique, on peut mieux faire.

Like Trixie, I was so pleased that I could help the world be a better place but as a previous DuckDuckGo user the benefits of it, far outweigh the trees I planted.
Due to concerns about page filtering, malware, and country specific information when searching means I am going back to DDG. I will just give a bit more to tree charities now.

Actually, I kinda like the fact that with my using of the search engine I contribute for a better world. However, it seems to be aimed for people who use google. As a main Duckduckgo user, used to instant correct search result with an easy access to country specific research, I really can't recommend it.
