EU Search engine incoming: Ecosia is teaming up with Qwant to build a European search index
Both are great! In my experience Qwant gives better search results, so thats what i use. I even prefer Qwant's results over Google's. But Ecosia is a great option as well because of the tree planting.

The verdict will stay in place even if she goes for an appeal. It can only be lifted if she actually wins the appeal but the chances of that are practically zero given the evidence.
