Ecosia, is it really so private?

A article about if Ecosia is really a private search engine.
I did spend a lot a time to analyze and investigate Ecosia, I hope this article helps people to better understand how private is Ecosia really and which are the downsides of it. Is the first article I ever written, so it isn't perfect. I'm open for feedback!

@voxel @privacy Your formatting isn't consistant. Some sections are left justified some are centered.

Also try typing posts out into a word processer to catch spelling errors.

Some proper names are capitalized in some parts and not in others.

You recommended Brave search but admittedly didn't reaearch it.
