I have a 4k external monitor for my laptop and I really kinda hate it. Everything is too tiny and puts strain on my eyes. I could set apps up to have larger fonts, but I happen to have a lower resolution screen in another office, and so the

I used to use DDG and disliked the quality of results. I use Ecosia now, also doesn't track (they say), but uses microsoft results, which are better. Plus their revenue goes to planting trees. Does anyone have criticisms of Ecosia?
