About this app

Like other search engines, we make money through ads, but we use 100% of our profits for the planet. The Ecosia community has already planted 150 million trees in over 35 countries.

With one download you can help tackle climate change while also protecting your privacy. Download the Ecosia app today to plant trees as you search — it’s completely free!

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. 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 — 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.

Protect your privacy — We don’t create a profile of you or track your location, we never sell your data to advertisers, and your searches are always SSL-encrypted. We want trees, not your data.

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

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. Love to see where their profits go and all their projects, overall great app!

App crashes and immediately closes out when opening it with the messages "Ecosia keeps stopping" and "Ecosia has stopped". Giving only the options to close or submit feedback. Has not worked for weeks now. I have repeatedly cleared the app cache and data, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, updated to no avail. It immediately closes out upon opening it with the error box popping up informing me the Ecosia app has stopped or that it keeps stopping. Unusable.

i used to love ecosia and recommend it to everyone but not anymore. i loved the option of ad blocking... except it doesn't work. i still get ads all the time where there shouldn't be. the accessability in the settings to zoom text warps the whole web page and cuts off parts of it instead of just increasing text size? it used to work just fine. little stuff like this slowly make it bothersome at best, unusable at worst.
