Ratings and reviews

I just started using ecosia on my pc to avoid ai results, and I love it. It is pretty too! I really want to make it work on my phone as well, but the widget is so unsightly. I wish I could make it transparent. (It might be a conflict with my launcher, not sure) I would also love to see a mic button on the widget so I could use it like I do my google widget, and easily search things by voice.

I enjoy the concept of this search tool, but recent changes to the mobile layout have made it very frustrating to use - the new tab button is now at the bottom right for one, overlaying whatever you are doing and generally in the way. I find things like this to be very frustrating because nothing was wrong with how it was before and there are no options to change its location again in settings - why pointlessly change something for the the worse?

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.
