Hello, I would like to have possibility to choose Ecosia as default search engine for Brave browser on Android. Currently we can choose 5 search engines but not Ecosia.
It is important because Ecosia works 100% on renewable energy and spends about 80% of its profits to palnt trees. I recommend You to try it if you dhave not heard yet about it.
I know it is easy to change, it is just that nobody has thought about it yet.
Have a nice days.
Ohhā¦
Thanks!
I didnāt knew it was that easy! Welpā¦ At least for me as a ātechieā, if not āgeekā, at the very least ā I must say. I thought they needed to partner Ć la Norway/Norwegian/Scandinavian aka North European OperaĀ® for AndroidĀ® and have had tried to get a response from EcosiaĀ® support which is gone to the dogs, dare I say( since they have had never responded to me with an actual answer).
Also, it would be prudent to add that you must not just browse/visit āecosia.orgā on BraveĀ® for AndroidĀ®, but apparently make at least one search with successful results-page and keep it in your web-history at least as long as you donāt see and set it as your ādefaultā search-engine for either āStandardā or āPrivacyā or both tabs, should you prefer.(
In fact, I just found out EcosiaĀ®ās blog-post announcing the partnership in 2021 by applauding this venture as the topmost result of that random-search, but the instructions are limited to PC-only browsers.)
P.S. Believe It Or Not( nothing to do with a yet-another IP, donāt get me into Americana dubbed litigation-theatrics), this was the one-&-only I have been using OperaĀ® on my LineageOSĀ® after getting rid of ChromeĀ® for AndroidĀ®( yep, Iāve consciously made the decision to have GoogleĀ® Playā¢ services packages 'cus of some key-functionalities and also, we are Family plan members on 2 of Wall Street-listed Alphabetā¢ās services, so they genuinely have very good, less incentive to exploit our personally-identifiable data that they keep collecting) likeā¦ Within the first-minute of getting the OS transition finished. Now, the only thing isā¦ How to transition as much of my browsing-data from Android OperaĀ® to Android BraveĀ®( i.e. without using any PC whatsoever, which I have stopped using almost ever for any of my [non-work ]activities) as possible, if not all.(
As most of the data is certainly backed-up in my OperaĀ® account which I was misled into creating, significantly 'cus of my device-switches ā in addition to the choice of getting to chose EcosiaĀ® later on.)
