If you are looking for an alternative to Ecosia, you probably want fewer ads, less tracking, and a page that gets out of your way. Bare is built for exactly that.
Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees with its ad revenue. It is a genuinely good cause, and it is also a fairly standard search experience built on Bing's index with ads on the page.
