I’ve looked into ecosia and they store IPs for a week to “protect ourselves from spammers”. They encrypt your searches, use Bing for results and ads, but they filter the “annoying” ones. I think they are pretty good overall.

Don’t they take search results from bing?

Edit: Correct me if I’m wrong

If you are buying a smartphone why not buy the most secure one?

If you don’t want to change anything major in your phone or go into the technical stuff, iPhone is better, but the best phone privacy-wise is a Pixel with custom (privacy oriented) ROM installed, since Pixels have the best security features among Android.

Yes! Proton mail started to behave like typical corporation :(
