Ecosia adds Microsoft Clarity and optional Google search results and advertising
ecosia.org
Ecosia adds "contractually forced" Microsoft Clarity tracking (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/about-clarity | privacy faq : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/faq#privacy), which will record the behaviour of users on the website. Recording clics, size, and more.
They will also add an optional Google setting. Enabling the cookie will allow to get search results from Google, but also to get tracked by Google.
Optional Microsoft advertising tracking is still a thing, tho it may not be necessary if Bing can get a fingerprint and behaviour of the user in real time...
This may be the final flow for Ecosia for me. Unless somehow the Microsoft Clarity can be private... But I don't think so.

What I remember : Startpage has been bought by an advertising company. So who knows what they could do with it.
Yup, i've sent this link before:

For me that was reason enough to not use them anymore, but for a long time, i almost exclusively used it.
Mm I do think I remember the controversy around that. Such a bummer because their anonymous webpage viewing is such a cool feature
Yeah startpage fucking slaps, so this is a real shame.
