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

Browser with a great way to care for our planet. Doesn't track you, your personal information or your browsing habits. However a couple of MAJOR things are missing though; 1: Being able to clear your browsing data with 1 click like you can in Duckduckgo, and 2: Being able to export / import bookmarks. Who ever heard of a browser that doesn't allow importing / exporting of bookmarks????? Still, if you care about our planet then it might be worth your time using this app.

I don't like the latest update: the search bar in my home opens the browser before typing so it becomes idle when I want to search something fast, also the complete browser made the app much slower than before and I still prefer other browsers. I really liked the quick search in the control panel but now it's completely useless. I hope you change something

It works pretty much fine for searching, but the dark mode is only visible on the logo, since every time you do a search it becomes completely white. That's not good for the environment! The widget is also white and it should follow your preferences on the app... Why not to allow writing down the search entries inside the widget like in other similar apps? Opening a browser to type your search makes the widget irrelevant.
