1 star and uninstalling because AI integration destroys the planet and contradicts the whole point of having this in the first place, also the search database they use got full of ai slop, so even if you disable ai ALOT of the articles you get will also be written by ai and there is no effective way offered to disable or exclude ai articles/sites from search results (except excluding all search items post around 2020 witch is not always convenient or feasible if you are looking for something that needs to be up to date). It is a shame because otherwise a good idea and solid engine, and also personally a shame because now I have to go find a search engine that actually still works like a search engine.

Claims to save the planet but uses generative AI lmaoooo, even if they claim their AI is the most "green" one it doesnt change a thing, ai is still doing incredible damage to the planet even if you hide behind your lies

So, I have a problem with Ecosia honestly not being kept as the default, therefore, lying into a vicious cycle of downloading the extension all over again, I don't know if this is a bug or not.

you also use AI Overview, which I tried to search for the amount of water cooling but found no answer on how much water cooling it requires

At least you are being honest about finance, which the server (operational) costs are in second place according to your finance blog

Please stop this AI bullshit, it contradicts the idea of ​​saving the planet. Please.

i like that i am helping environment

Wow! Good job

used for a long time and was always pretty happy with it until they introduced generative ai features. gen ai is HORRIBLE for the environment. i cant keep using a search engine that claims to do good for the planet when they have features like that, it's completely contradictory. im not sure you can even turn it off? it shouldnt have features like that to begin with, much less have them be the default for all users.

I used the extension, missing the level next to the user icon , although authorized and using the search engine as before, please fix it
