Ecosia has a terrible privacy policy, I analysed it in the past. They are likely in violation of the GDPR, I’m currently considering to file a complaint, they’re still a lot better than Google though, but DDG is privacy-wise superior.

I think your search engine is more than alright. Regarding the rest, I believe it requires no change aslong as you feel satisfied with it.
I don’t think so, while the impact wasn’t as great as he and other people wished, it nonetheless had a big impact, many people started to care, just because of what he exposed.
I felt weird about some of their practices, e.g., making so-called “Whois Privacy,” which hides your personal data in RDAP requests, a paid extra feature when you register or move a domain to them.
I never spend time too look deeper into their service at that time, as I was only looking for a domain registrar. Their apps are available on F-Droid which is cool.

No, thanks.
Glad we’re stealing from people now. /s


Likely illegal (depending on where the post author lives).
Ente is more than alright, I wouldn’t recommend self-hosted solutions to people who do not have the admin experience required, losing something as valueable as photos or videos can be very damaging.
