I've never heard of Ecosia, but I don't understand your logic on this.
Problem: Google bad!
Solution: Don't use google, use Ecosia instead.
Error: Ecosia also uses google.
How is this a good move? If anything it's just a lateral move with the same problem.
Late reply but: Ecosia lets you choose between Google or Bing, but I guess that isn't really your point. The main thing is it anonymises your searches, so you do get some additional privacy. Additionally, the hope is that one day they build their own index. They just recently announced that they're gonna start one with Qwant.
Eventually they'll stop using G and MAYBE they have better impact in the climate. Why be a fucking prick about it?
