DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Ekoru, or something else? (feddit.org)

I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for years now but am becoming increasingly interested in Ecosia and Ekoru for their environmentalist efforts. I’ve read the privacy policies for both, and it seems they both share user data with Bing. However, if I use a VPN, set my user data to something generic like Chrome on Windows, and whitelist the search engine on my adblocker, I should be able to support them by viewing ads without being tracked by Microsoft. Is that worth it, or do you have another recommendation?
