    That sounds clever. With a stewardship, a company without the obscene wealth that Google has could actually adopt a project normally out of their reach and influence it for good.

    I wish the article went into more detail though.

    No matter how good the initial intentions, I feel like web browser development and web search under control of one single company is just too much concentration of power over the access to information to be a good thing.

      Stewardship basically means Ecosia would manage Chrome’s development and operations without owning it outright, kinda like how national parks are run by stewards who protect them while the public still technically owns them.
