Ecosia - Latest Quality Issues

Why, when I always use Ecosia, do I keep getting a banner on a website saying my CHROME browser has security issues and it isn't up to date, even though it is not meant to be using the Chrome browser. The Chrome browser, which I don't use, is up to date. I even uninstalled updates (I can't uninstall Chrome on my device) then did update. Yet a website still keeps showing a banner saying my CHROME browser has security issues and it isn't up to date, when I searched for the website using ECOSIA.

Not useful
I don't know what happened with the last update, the search engine doesn't work anymore because it always opens bling

Love the idea but Ecosia blocks so many links that it is causing a problem and I will need to go back to Google as my default

The negative evaluation is not so much to the app itself, but to the search engine (based on Google) that has recently been misfired. To give an example, it didn't find any matches to the word "coral", and on a second try it only gave me video matches (the search option was set to "all"). I don't know what's going on, but it's bad, very bad.

not bad
Ecosia is not bad but one thing that is not good it is based on Firefox iOS. Firefox is the most slowest browser on Earth. This makes no big difference from Firefox iOS. tracking protection isn't good by today's standards.

+ It took a while to find it, but Bitwarden also works on this eco-friendly browser. Bitwarden > Use Settings > Autofill > Show Top. + You can also choose the Ecosia search engine in the search bar of your Pixel. - Too bad you can't synchronize the browser with your other devices.
