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

It's great, Ecosia has been my search engine since July, I think, and so far so good, because I like the thought of browsing and at the same time helping our nature, since I'm still a student, I can't help that much, so I think this is actually a great app, because I still can help even if I'm just browsing so A Big thumbs up to Ecosia. (Sorry for any grammatical error)

Nice, there are moments when I click on a photo and it takes a while for it to load in full quality, sometimes it doesn't, but overall it's good. More on the photo thing: It doesn't fully load the entire image, you have to click on the source to see it in it's entirety. The X to clear works now! (There's also dark mode ^^) Edit: search results aren't as accurate.

I've switched my mobile search engine to Ecosia about two years ago because it comes with a good cause. Though I hope that it has 'voice' search which comes in handy when people are driving but that small 'inconvenience' is manageable. Also, it doesn't have maps but it directs to two different apps of your choice. It is younger than Google but I think it is better because you can use it to search something for yourself and at the same time, you are doing something good for the planet just by doing what you intend to do. They also provide regular reports to Ecosia users and that kind of transparency is something I appreciate very much. Keep it up, Ecosia!
