Ad blocker and fast browsing — The Ecosia app is based on Chromium and gives you an intuitive, fast and secure browsing experience with everything you need, including tabs, incognito mode, bookmarks, downloads and a built-in ad blocker. We also show a green leaf beside your results that are pro-environment, helping you make greener choices whilst you search.

Ratings and reviews

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 :)

App still has some problems where some features make it crash. I will still keep using it as my main search engine and default browser because it's for a good cause. BUT I think it's very important for the developers to strive to make it as good as they can and try to make it even better than google so that more people can switch without it feeling like a downgrade.
