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.

Ratings and reviews

Love this app heaps, I prefer using it for browsing and saving pictures, it's a really stable browser! I just wanted to let you guys know that videos keep speeding up recently, like video playback speed is turned up for some reason, and I wasn't sure if it was affecting anyone else, So i thought I'd let you guys know. It usually rights itself when I close out of the app, though, so it's not really too much of an issue right now, just wanted to pass on that info. Thanks so much!! 😊😊

Great app and great search engine company! However I have some suggestions. My tree count number did not transfer over from app to app when I got a new phone, please make a way for this to happen! Similarly, it would be nice for search history and current tabs to be transferred. And I'd love if the search bar widget could have adjustable transparency, so I can see my cat on my phone's wallpaper ;)

They just had an upgrade may 2022, and it is simply brilliant. The self-ordering of the newly opened searches, and the ability to organize old ones into files. And the little "in file" tabs at the button of the screen.... Brilliant! (& Ethical and effective) After about a year of using it, I still like it. BUT it's taking 4.7 gigs of storage on my phone. Seems like WAY TO MUCH DATA
