Ecosia, I've been using it a while now and they plant trees with there profit, I have personally covered the cost of planting 75 trees over the last couple years just be using it instead of Google. They have planted over 175mil trees and they are transparent with there finances.

At least that's what I was interested in.
Yep...I'm interested in the specifics of the privacy issues.
