It’s in the article; Ecosia throws money at moz://a and they put Ecosia as one of the search engines.
This means you can click it from a list of icons under your search bar.

No data selling nor snooping involved.

Adds in their search, i think they are a non-profit company, as they use this money to plant trees

Sponsored links. They do attempt to maximize privacy and the money generated goes to support environment restoration, but if you draw the line at any money being made that probably doesn’t help you.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
