I have been using Ecosia for years now, having switched over in an effort to begin moving away from Google's privacy issues and hard push for AI-generated tools. I was disappointed when I found out today that Ecosia had established its own AI-summary tool in the search engine. I was even more disappointed when, while trying to turn off this feature, the setting would reset every time I "saved" my preferences. I assume this problem will be fixed soon, or that if I made an Ecosia account my preferences would actually remain, but the fact that this AI tool is opt-out rather than opt-in in the first place just makes me think that Ecosia is going the way of everything else on the internet. I will not be using this search engine again.
