Ratings and reviews

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.

This app is fast. It has a solid ad blocker too, but it also has a few really annoying interface features. - It seems like every browser is adopting this grid layout for multiple tabs, and I hate it. - Ecosia also asks me to allow cookies every single time it opens, makes me change my search settings every time it opens, and shows Google results in light mode even though I have dark turned on.

The browser is not only amazing, but I can input any search via the drop down bar, but there's an issue with that, the drop down search bar (when you swipe down on your phone to show you the quick settings and notifications menu at the top of your phone) for some reason doesn't auto register space characters in between words when swiping your words like I'm doing now. Using that search bar forces me to push the space bar which is a minor inconvenience, otherwise an amazing app.
