Alongside our climate action, we have always campaigned for a fairer, more sustainable internet. We’re the only search engine that gives all of its profits to the planet and we compete with some of the biggest companies in the world, so we’ve been pushing them to give alternative search engines a fair chance. And it’s paying off!

Sure, fella, that was all you. I follow that issue very closely, can't say Ecosia has really been a driving force behind it. I've never heard of them, in fact. Why do they feel the need to lie? I wouldn't use them even if they weren't reskinned Bing just for the above paragraph alone, can't really trust a company that lies about stuff it doesn't even need to lie about.
