Just switched to Ecosia the browser! It dedicates money to planting trees and restoration projects as well as being a more sustainable option :)
I've been trying to be more conscious of what programs I'm using and made it my default after googles constant shovelling of ai pissed me off lol. Alongside that, recently I switched to storing my writing and documents on the website Ellipsus due to their anti-ai policies as I didnt want google docs scraping my work or restricting it based on censorship <3
I also use 4thewords with writing as its super motivating and I love developing a whole character going on missions to fight monsters based off if my word count
All in all I was worried about Ecosia being too different but honestly its super smooth, took me two seconds and a button to switch over and didnt even have to transfer any tabs over.
Google does not have to be the only option!! There are people working to make a difference with technology and I'm content with using two writing programs which support artists and authors and a browser that will plant trees based off of my activity and time spent using it :))
If anyone has even more reccomendations, I'm aleays happy to hear about more great projects and websites like this
