Ad blocker and fast browsing — 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.

Carbon negative browser — 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.

Ratings and reviews

This is a review for the app, not the search engine, which I like and have used for a few years. This app isn't just a search engine; it's a whole browser. It simply doesn't have enough features to be a long-term daily driver; I'm better off just using Ecosia on my browser of choice. (I don't know how many trees I've helped plant over time, since I clear the cache from time to time. 😅) No extensions, no sync, no desktop app to sync *to*. While there's an ad blocker, there's no tracker blocker.

The search browser is very good. Helping the environment at the same time is a plus that will never get old or run out of style. Thanks to those who put this plan together. It didn't even have to make forced changes to survive with majority of people now inside or behind a screen instead of noticing the tree crisis . It tells me alot about the care and sacrifices in other ways we all are making to keep the good news trending.

I keep getting messages that "Ecosia has stopped working" and "do you want to force quit or wait?" Not just when the browser freezes, but also sometimes when it's just lagging a bit and sometimes when it's not even open amd I'm not using it. Other than that, the browser works fine, no slower than the Chrome app with very similar functions, and I'm happy to be helping a good cause!
