Ecosia Moves to European Search Index for Greater Tech Independence
2025-08-09
Ecosia is now using its European-based search index, EUSP, a joint venture with Qwant, to serve a portion of search results to its French users. This move is a significant step towards achieving greater tech independence and digital sovereignty for Europe, reducing reliance on American tech giants. EUSP's Staan index provides privacy-focused access to other search engines and AI companies, fostering the development of Europe's digital infrastructure. The ultimate goal is a fairer, greener tech future.
