  • From your response, I can tell you don’t have ADHD

    That’s a very big assertion, and without compelling evidence to justify the claim. What license do you have to practice medicine? What diagnostic criteria have you used to rule out ADHD? If you truly do have ADHD, wouldn’t it be in your best interests to not so carelessly levy such statements, as ADHD is already not taken so seriously by the public at large?

    Independent of whether I personally have ADHD, what does that have to do with your own personal choice of search engines? The answer is nothing.

    You are free to choose what ever search engine suits your needs, but at the very least don’t make statements about others you know nothing about. It’s intellectually dishonest and lazy.


  • I have to say, I don’t really agree with the assertion that having ADHD indicates a need for ad-blocking. What happens if you see a couple of ads or distractions?

    Even if ads are blocked, when you click on a link a search engine has provided, would you not realize if what you were looking for was there?

    I suppose in theory, even if ads are blocked, there would still be some beneficial metrics that Ecosia could gather.

    In any case, you are free to use whatever search engine you choose, without justification to anybody else. I do choose to keep the ads, because I feel the cause is more important than the “cost” incurred upon me.
