SearchScene: The Charitable Search Engine Edge Add-On
SearchScene – The Charitable Search Engine, is an Edge add-on that helps users contribute to charitable causes while performing their regular online searches. The search engine donates 95% of its profits to selected charities, majorly ones focusing on climate change. This add-on turns SearchScene into your default search engine, start page, and new tab. It serves rich search results, displays daily-changing scenic wallpapers, features a dark mode for a more comfortable viewing, and prioritizes user privacy by not recording searches or selling user data to advertisers. They publicly share receipts of all donations for transparency.

Great search engine! There is literally no reason to use anything else considering how organized it is and how beautiful the canaries on the background are. If you are used to something else just give this 1-2 weeks and you won't regret it!

I love search scene because it helps make the world a better place, and it also displays a beautiful back round each time you go to search something. It also has settings, so if you want you can change the back round. Other than that, the only problem with this is that you cannot save the sites that you go on. For example, when I had a different search engine, it saved the sites at the bottom, but this one doesn't. That is my only complaint so far, and it not even that bad I dont mind taking the extra time to search something <3
