Ecosia: Search to plant trees

Ecosia

About this app

Search the web. Plant trees. Fund climate projects.

Ecosia is more than just a search engine — it's your way to support climate action and tree planting projects every day, just by browsing the internet.

🌳 Search with purpose
Like other search engines, Ecosia earns money from ads. But unlike them, we use 100% of our profits to fund climate action. Over 250 million trees have already been planted across 35+ countries.

🔒 Your data stays yours
We only collect what's needed to deliver search results, and your searches are always encrypted. — We want trees, not your data.

⚡ Our solar plants
Searching requires energy. Ecosia invests into renewable energy, phasing out fossil fuels from the electricity grid.

🌍 Transparency & Ownership
As a not-for-profit, steward-owned company, we publish monthly financial reports that show you which organisations were funded.

Download Ecosia and join a global community of millions taking meaningful action, one search at a time.

Ratings and reviews

Great browser that runs smoothly, and plants trees for every 45 searches, even keeps track of it! An effortless way to keep your data private and plant trees. I do wish it remembered my settings, for example country of search (ie. I have to reset it to a different country every time I search if I want my results in the right language. Just a small nuisance, still better than chrome :p)

Lowered my rating because while I love this browser for its cause and what it fights for, it has become absolutely useless since a couple days and can't find a single thing I'm asking. I'm French, I tried searching in French and English, changing the default region to France or other countries, in vain. The browser keeps telling me there's no result to my research while others easily find it. I don't want to let Ecosia go, but as of now, it's of no use to me. :(

Looks solid, great cause. I'm feeling it out to see if it gives me the experience I get when using Chrome. One thing that I think needs changing is the design. When results come up the font seems very square and formal, the boxes that contain the results are square, pointy, harsh. Personally I think that it needs a more bubbly, comfortable and happy look to go with your cause. It's what I expect when looking at your logo. Not at all that when I go in. Hopefully you implement this, Thanks :)
