Article seems to have a hard paywall? Even 12ft.io can't bypass it.

Very odd, I'm using a Telcel SIM card, and other CloudFlare sites work fine.

You know what you said, we know what your goal is. Let's not confuse the multiple meanings of the word "state" here.

Perso j'aime que c'est un genre de "ok fuck you, too" après que Amazon aille quitté

I did not make a statement about you, I made a statement about your response. I apologize if it came off as rude, but it's clear in your response that you don't care much for accessibility (and neither does Ecosia, or most people for that matter) and don't understand what ADHD is. Whether you do have ADHD or not or do / do not care is a different topic, and is not what is being displayed here.

Besides, it's not a choice, it's a need. Ecosia is not accessible. I've been looking at Ecosia for a long time, and unfortunately I can't use it without practically stealing their server time because they won't take my money.

It's a visual distraction that makes it harder to parse a page rather than about accidentally clicking on it. Regarding clicks, advertising has often been used to carry malware and is a security risk.

I have pretty severe ADHD, and I do best on straightforward content. Turns out, most sites are rather straightforward after you strip out the advertising. It's a question of cognitive complexity.

From your response, I can tell you don't have ADHD nor understand the cognitive difficulty that comes with being offered things I do not need all the time or having to find the real content like a needle in a haystack when I have the attention span of a fruit fly.

On top of that, I'm of the philosophy that my eyes and data are not aspects of me that are for sale, as those are not things that I can easily control. I would much rather just directly pay for what I use.

Bref, I don't think Ecosia's business model is accessible, nor does it sit well with me philosophically. Just let me pay for those trees in exchange for a service, take my money, I have money!

As someone with ADHD, an ad-blocker is not a want, it's a need, so I'd be using Ecosia with an ad-blocker, which defeats the purpose.

Off topic, is it just me or the Parti vert du Québec is just Russia in a trenchcoat?

Last election, they had all sorts of weirdly pro-russian talking points, like they've been hijacked or something. Little mention of social program improvements or ecology.

Anyway, reading the OGP's website a bit, seems promising.

How do they profit? I'm allergic to advertising, and I happily pay for Kagi to be able to control what I see and how my search results are displayed.

The only Popeye's I've been to was the one on Henderson Hwy in Winnipeg, maybe it's a really good location.

I stand corrected, 3G Capital had a 71% stake in Burger King before RBI existed.

3G Capital now owns 30% of RBI, a company that is half-american, I still wouldn't consider Tim Hortons "Canadian-owned" because it's only partly true.

I also think RBI drove most of its franchises into the ground. I can't remember the last time I went to Burger King, and I only go to Tim Hortons very occasionally for ice caps.

I think their only good franchise is Popeye's, and it doesn't exist in Quebec. Never heard of firehouse subs.
