Which search engines to use to do without Google? This is the question I asked here a few days ago with an article that offered you Four Alternatives to Google. This publication has generated a lot of reactions and several of you have pointed out to me another search engine that can be a good alternative to King Google. This is Lilo. Lilo has the great advantage of allowing you to do effective web research and at the same time financially support social and environmental projects of your choice. Not bad, right?

Lilo, an alternative and solidarity-based meta search engine
Lilo is a good idea at first. That's quite a good idea. It is a meta search engine. In other words, the tool does not have its own index, it will be content when you do a search to query other search engines. Here, the largest of them, I named Google, Bing and Yahoo.
No big surprises in the results, other than a very clean interface with little or no advertising. Lilo will simply use and aggregate the algorithms of large search engines. You will therefore have the same overall results as on live engines. If in doubt, Lilo offers a button that allows you to switch to Google with one click;
Lilo is committed to respecting your privacy. No tracking, no sales of your data or searches, secure servers located in France …etc.
An alternative search engine that turns your searches into solidarity
Lilo becomes magical by transforming your research into sounding and stumbling money that you will be able to distribute to one of the social and / or environmental projects put forward by the search engine. When you search on Lilo, click on an advertisement or make a purchase, you collect drops of water. Without even realizing it, without changing anything to your habits you will be able to concretely help ethical projects. A search on Lilo = 1 drop of water. 1000 drops of water turn into around €4 that you will be able to donate to a common cause.
A small drop counter is automatically displayed at the top and right of the homepage to allow you to track your collection.
Your research funds beautiful projects
The Lilo system allows the passage to highlight many solidarity projects carried out by associations, NGOs, … foundations education, health, environment, animals. The choice is vast. One page allows you to browse all supported projects and see what each of them has recovered thanks to the generosity of Lilo users.
Lilo installs directly in your Chrome or Firefox browser. It will replace the default Google engine. With a simple and clear user guide, you can integrate Lilo into your digital daily life.
For my part, tested and adopted.
