Yeah I just find the title very weird, to me it makes more sense to choose a search engine because it respects your privacy than to "support European companies"

I hadn't read the "Need help choosing?" part of the picture, so still oupsie on my part ๐Ÿ˜… I wish it mentioned that it's decentralized... but considering it's aimed at people using Google, I guess that'd be like trying to convert people from twitter/reddit to mastodon/lemmy by geeking out about decentralization and ActivityPub. No one cares, aside from the people who are already using it ๐Ÿ˜
