As a Progressive Browser, Brave Should feature ECOSIA.ORG as default Search Engine!

Google is Big Tech. GIANT TECH. Famous for tracking and targeting ads.

ECOSIA plants trees with their profits.

Time to level up, Brave!

I think so many people are intertwined and familiar with Google that they’d be expecting Google as their search provider.

I’m with you though Qwant and Ecosia are pretty cool alternatives. I’m not a fan of DuckDuckGo.

But it could be offered as an optional default browser like the several other options provided.

Optional maybe, default no.

Well… Optional default. Right?

Can you put this suggestion through to someone who can make it happen?

Brave is interested in user privacy. Does this search engine respect it? If not, I say no. I already use www.startpage.com, which DOES respect privacy.

Yes, they apparently have higher standards for User privacy than the mainstream search engines like google which are more profit-driven.

Thank you for your response.

Please add Ecosia for Default SE on iOS mobile app!

I think it would be better if Ecosia is registered as a verified publisher of Brave so that we can monthly contribute our BATs to plant more trees

@Pizzadren @CareBear Love that idea! Similar partnerships should be for natural disasters too. Donating BAT to respected charities would be a good addition.

Overall I like the idea, but while I prefer Startpage as it also respects you but it also uses some elements from Google to show you better results even so I would not prefer it as the default

Please take in mind many inexperienced users who are trying Brave for the first time would be annoyed because Google is not the default and they can not switch it, I know the Brave community is filled with advanced users, but I also know many novice users could start with it and if they think it is broken they will abandon it and do negative publicity

I do not know if you have seen my prior posts, but if you have you might see I advocate for accessibility and ease of use a lot, and I know normally I post Android specific topics, but I do the same for every platform
