Qwant, France’s privacy-focused search engine, and Ecosia, a Berlin-based not-for-profit search engine that uses ad revenue to fund tree planting and other climate-focused initiatives, are joining forces on a joint venture to develop their own European search index.

Yeah, qwant, the same search engine with complete reliance on huawei and bing, who asked to deactivate adblocker to use their page. Qwant isn't privacy focused, it's just marketing

Thats sadly the thing with non commercial work/science. It often dosn't have a fancy product announcement that gets picked up by the news.
