Ecosia: Search to plant trees

Ecosia

About this app

Search the web. Plant trees. Power the planet.

Ecosia is more than just a search engine — it’s a simple way to take climate action every day. Just by browsing the internet, you can help plant trees in biodiversity hotspots, support local communities, and combat climate change.

🌳 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 230 million trees have already been planted across 35+ countries, restoring landscapes and saving wildlife.

🔒 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.

⚡ Powered by the Sun
Ecosia runs on renewable energy. In fact, our solar plants generate twice the electricity we need to power your searches — pushing out fossil fuels from the electricity grid.

🌍 Climate positive & transparent
As a not-for-profit, steward-owned company, we publish monthly financial reports that show you exactly where your clicks go — toward real, measurable climate impact.

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

Ratings and reviews

Coming from Chrome, this browser is slower, buggy, and less accurate. It took the direct url to find a page that took me one key word and five seconds on Google. I wanted to give 3 stars, but, on the other hand, searching with this app is a really good way to do something for the environment, so I'll keep using this browser hoping you'll improve it soon.

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!
