Exactly, reading is almost always more convenient and faster.

You know what you said, we know what your goal is. Let’s not confuse the multiple meanings of the word “state” here.

I personally generally much prefer text content, and get disappointed when I click and get a video or audio instead

Impossible, their username is joyjoy!

I did not make a statement about you, I made a statement about your response. I apologize if it came off as rude, but it’s clear in your response that you don’t care much for accessibility (and neither does Ecosia, or most people for that matter) and don’t understand what ADHD is. Whether you do have ADHD or not or do / do not care is a different topic, and is not what is being displayed here.

Besides, it’s not a choice, it’s a need. Ecosia is not accessible. I’ve been looking at Ecosia for a long time, and unfortunately I can’t use it without practically stealing their server time because they won’t take my money.

It’s a visual distraction that makes it harder to parse a page rather than about accidentally clicking on it. Regarding clicks, advertising has often been used to carry malware and is a security risk.

I have pretty severe ADHD, and I do best on straightforward content. Turns out, most sites are rather straightforward after you strip out the advertising. It’s a question of cognitive complexity.

From your response, I can tell you don’t have ADHD nor understand the cognitive difficulty that comes with being offered things I do not need all the time or having to find the real content like a needle in a haystack when I have the attention span of a fruit fly.

On top of that, I’m of the philosophy that my eyes and data are not aspects of me that are for sale, as those are not things that I can easily control. I would much rather just directly pay for what I use.

Bref, I don’t think Ecosia’s business model is accessible, nor does it sit well with me philosophically. Just let me pay for those trees in exchange for a service, take my money, I have money!

As someone with ADHD, an ad-blocker is not a want, it’s a need, so I’d be using Ecosia with an ad-blocker, which defeats the purpose.

Off topic, is it just me or the Parti vert du Québec is just Russia in a trenchcoat?

Last election, they had all sorts of weirdly pro-russian talking points, like they’ve been hijacked or something. Little mention of social program improvements or ecology.

Anyway, reading the OGP’s website a bit, seems promising.

How do they profit? I’m allergic to advertising, and I happily pay for Kagi to be able to control what I see and how my search results are displayed.

The only Popeye’s I’ve been to was the one on Henderson Hwy in Winnipeg, maybe it’s a really good location.

I stand corrected, 3G Capital had a 71% stake in Burger King before RBI existed.

3G Capital now owns 30% of RBI, a company that is half-american, I still wouldn’t consider Tim Hortons “Canadian-owned” because it’s only partly true.

I also think RBI drove most of its franchises into the ground. I can’t remember the last time I went to Burger King, and I only go to Tim Hortons very occasionally for ice caps.

I think their only good franchise is Popeye’s, and it doesn’t exist in Quebec. Never heard of firehouse subs.

Their domain name should really have been madein.ca, because now it says made in caca

CIRA is awesome, I set their DoH service as my DNS provider at the router level at home.

And they are almost wholly owned by 3G Capital, a Brasilian conglomerate. RBI is just a technicality.

I presume you’re not from the US.

Many municipalities across the US have poor quality or non drinkable water, and many more do not offer public access to water fountains. Thus, bottled water is a huge market in the US as free facilities are not always available.

I’m Canadian and I legitimately cannot recall the last time I bought bottled or canned water. I bring my two 18.9L jugs to the store to fill them with filtered water for $5 and that’s the extent of my “bottled water” consumption. Elsewhere, I carry a metal water bottle I can get refilled anywhere for free.

Yeah Stevia tastes like poison to me, super bitter.

Basically all artificial sweeteners taste like either bitter or nothing at all to me. So I’m really angry when I buy a product I’ve been buying for years and it suddenly tastes like a Nintendo Switch cartridge.
