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

I love the concept of Ecosia and have used their desktop browser for years and the mobile browser more recently but unfortunately it just doesn't perform well. It frequently has bugs or glitches that render it unusable so I find I end up using alternative browsers more and more. I don't mind having to scroll a bit further in search results to find what I'm looking for but it's failing to load anything right now so totally unusable.

As a browser app, this is a great browser since it also equipped with an ad blocker and the option to delete browsing data and history easily. The search engine is also good that it's catching up with Google, but it misses on some website search, maybe the compilation is not yet on par with Google. Overall, satisfied and happy with this browser app and search engine. Hoping to see more improvement to the browser and thank you for planting more trees. Continue being heroes, Guys! Kudos!

Alright browser- though it doesn't show how many trees I've planted anymore, so not sure what's happening there. Like most browsers nowadays, I wish it wouldn't include AI chats or images showing up in search results. Have used this for two years now and it's pretty reliable though.
