as an ecosia user, a custom search engine for ecosia is exiting.

You sure you mean exiting? Or exciting?

It will ofcourse still be very filtered in regards to legal grey areas like piracy and porn i assume. But even then for everything else we really need a functioning search engine.

I've lost faith in Qwant a few years ago, but this gives me some hope 😀
