As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick "official" toot to then pin: we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it "slipped through". As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.

Ecosia allegedly also gets their search results from Bing, for whatever that's worth.

I thought Ecosia was working on their own index?

Didn't even take a minute to research

Proof that Ecosia isn't really about their 'eco' claims when they're getting their search results from the people who are actively killing the world right now instead of indexing stuff independently.

That's not proof. Proof would be if they weren't using their ad revenue to do what they claim to be doing.

If you think using US tech means you're evil, wait until you find out where your clothes come from, who works to make your food, who is exploited by the amazing cheap deals you profit off of, who profits from the products you buy.

Ecosia, just like you, doesn't exist in a vacuum with endless money. They have to make the changes within their means with the cards they are dealt. You're demanding Ecosia build a competitor to Bing and Google with no money and that they save the world at the same time. Do you demand the same of yourself or do you call yourself a traitor to humanity every time you look in the mirror?
