Ad blocker and fast browsing ā€” The Ecosia app is based on Chromium and gives you an intuitive, fast and secure browsing experience with everything you need, including tabs, incognito mode, bookmarks, downloads and a built-in ad blocker. We also show a green leaf beside your results that are pro-environment, helping you make greener choices whilst you search.

Plant trees with your searches and be climate active every day ā€” The Ecosia community is tackling climate change, protecting wildlife, and collaborating with local communities around the world, planting the right trees in the right places.

Carbon negative browser ā€” Not only do the trees we plant absorb CO2, we also have our own solar plants. They don't just produce enough renewable energy to power all your searches, but twice as much! This means more renewables (and fewer fossil fuels) in the electricity grid.

I'm kind of disappointed with the addition of Google to the image results, not only does it open a new tab when you select the images option, but it's not even Ecosia's image results, it's Google's. If I wanted Google integrated in my search engine, I'd just use Google. I kind of really liked to old formatting, as opposed to using Google.

Great browser alternative, with load times fast as any competition. Have had issues with image results in the past being zoomed in for no reason, but opening image in separate tab seemed to resolve that, and some bugs when they switched up how the tree count looks, which reset my search counter and is still broken, but that isn't a necessary feature so I won't complain. Recent issue of not being able to access image search, so Ill have to lower rating until that's fixed.

I actually love this app. I love being able to group like tabs in one area. One for shopping, one for news articles etc. the reason for the 3 stars is I pinned my fitness application from the ecosia browser to my home screen. While trying to remove it I accidentally deleted the whole app. I lost all of my bookmarks(46) and every single one of the tabs I had open(about 74). I am really upset and its highly unlikely I'm gonna use the app again.
