Another useful feature for power users that Google is killing.

They don't care about us that day they we have a problem and the solution is in a now defunct site. That doesn't generate revenue. "When People search on Google they need to find what they need on a click on the ads", the shareholders are saying

Google is actively working to close off the internet.

Thinking Google is "the internet" is probably part of the problem.

100% this. Google is killing Google. We just need to embrace that death and start using and promoting better alternatives.

Ecoisa!

They just planted 200 million trees.

I've heard of Ecosia, but I've never heard of how exactly their model works. It sounds to good to be true, so I've always written it off as bullshit.

More like "a company doesn't do something out of the kindness of their own heart" thinking.

Maybe they are fantastic, but the idea of a company doing something positive for the world just by me using their product (for free) sounds outlandish.
