I just started using ecosia on my pc to avoid ai results, and I love it. It is pretty too! I really want to make it work on my phone as well, but the widget is so unsightly. I wish I could make it transparent. (It might be a conflict with my launcher, not sure) I would also love to see a mic button on the widget so I could use it like I do my google widget, and easily search things by voice.

I'm kind of disappointed with the addition of Google to the image results, not only does it open a new tab when you select the images option, but it's not even Ecosia's image results, it's Google's. If I wanted Google integrated in my search engine, I'd just use Google. I kind of really liked to old formatting, as opposed to using Google.
