A simple chrome extension to activate a dark mode to the ecosia search engine. This extension allows to toggle a dark mode to the ‘ecosia.org’ site and includes a “new tab” page in dark also.
Ecosia is a search engine that uses the profits generated by your online research to plant trees where the need is greatest. They have a free browser extension for you to save the planet: https://bit.ly/2xmtfVl
You simply have to install the chrome extension. In the extention popup, you can enable or disable the dark mode.

Previously, we use the tabs function/permissions to retrieve the domain name. However, this requires the user to share his history which is bad. So here is a fix to do it in another way
v1.1.4 > 09/04/2019
Alert message more relevant and a little graphic fix
v1.1.3 > 30/03/2019
Blocking the extension (and user alerting) if we are not on ecosia.org domain
v1.1.2 > 28/03/2019
Add preventive alerts
v1.1.1 > 24/03/2019
Fix some stylish issue due to ecosia update
Add a Google form in extension popup
We already have ideas such as:
>Add translation
>Dark-mode switch impact ‘new tab’ page
>Switch to allow dark mode to activate itself from a certain time
>Propose to choose activation slots
>Choose the color variables

Muito útil
ok on a le mode sombre , mais tous les revenu ne vont plus à ecosia!
I liked it a lot but after the 2/2/21 update, the new tab doesn’t show up dark for me anymore? It used to work but I don’t know what happened. I tried to remove then add the extension again to see if that would work, removed and added ecosia again for default search engine but it just doesn’t show up dark on the new tab. It turns dark when I’m on ecosia.org, just not on the new tab.
Très bonne extension, merci beaucoup !
J’ai remarqué que depuis quelques temps la barre de recherche est entouré d’une bande blanche et comporte le logo Ecosia light mode, ce qui est moins esthétique qu’avant, je trouve. Est-ce un bug ou juste un changement ?
A nearly perfect extension for ecosia users but Ecosia Dark-Mode is not that great. Shows history of visited tabs below the search bar which is very bad as I dont want to see that but cant disable it via options. When it comes to day, I want to use it ecosia in light version but cant as I have installed this extension so I request dev to add a button kinda option so that one can disable it during day time. Also when I select a word or sentence and right click it to search via default search engine or other engine (using cent browser, brave browser, opera browser and edge browser), ecosia never shows up despite this extension being set as default. I hope dev will look into these and work upon these features. At last, Ecosia should improve searches also with time to time as I have seen any improvements within 3 years of my using. Last update of this extension was in july 20 so I hope new update must be coming soon in 2021. Thanks.
When I opened it up it was back and white and when I tried again it was the normal ecosia page .
Loving this so far, works next to near seamless in comparison to Vanilla Chrome- and its nice to be saving trees just doing your everyday searches. However, as an artist, I look up References for drawings quite often and the entire image section on Google through Ecosia is VERY wonky- and sometimes doesn’t even display images after you click on them. I haven’t yet found a solution or a workaround, so i just learned to search up images through my mobile phone and send them to myself through Discord; hoping to see a resolution in the future! 😀
Thanks, that new tab page was too white.
wasnt in settings but it was on the internet :p thank you!
Búsquedas rápidas y sencillas, modo noche que mejora el diseño y hace mas agradable la vista. Todo eso sabiendo que puedes ayudar a la madre tierra plantando arboles y saber cuantos llevas plantados con tus búsquedas, es genial y por si fuera poco es gratis!
Es una gran satisfacción saber que con acciones tan pequeñas ayudas a Gaia, a renovarse y tener su equilibrio para que suba su frecuencia. Vibrando alto estamos en conjunto
No puedo desactivarlo y activarlo con facilidad, solo puedo desinstalarlo si quiero quitarlo, pero maravillosa extensión para seguir apoyando a ecosia aún en modo oscuro.
thank you for this
Awesome!
Dommage que dès que j’ajoute l’extension, j’ai ce message en bas de ma barre de recherche:
“Veuillez garder l’extension chrome officielle d’Ecosia installée pour conserver toutes ses fonctionnalités !
Cette page nouvel onglet est un “copie” de la page nouvel onglet de l’extension ecosia officiel. Aucun revenu n’est généré à partir de cette extension et tous les droits restent réservés aux créateurs d’ecosia.
Extension Ecosia Dark-Mode développé par Gaëtan Mirmand”
Et que je n’arrive pas à avoir la page officielle mais en sombre.
Sinon rien à redire, très appréciée afin de ne pas me brûler les yeux.
Merci pour ce dark mode et pour nos yeux ! Tout s’affiche bien et est plutôt lisible.
Petites remarques sur des points qui ne nuisent aucunement à l’utilisation : Le compteur d’arbre sur la page d’accueil s’affiche en noir, pas très lisible ; cliquer sur le logo Ecosia de la page nouvel onglet ne ramène pas à la page d’accueil ; les logos de la page d’accueil, nouvel onglet et recherche sont tous les trois différents, faudrait se décider :p.
Merci pour votre travail, vous rendez service ! 😉
plantar arboles gracias a mis búsquedas y no tener dolor de ojos es espectacular 10/10
Great, but won’t let me toggle the mode on and off. Says there’s a switch in the popup, but there’s just a message thanking the user. Not that that will stop me from using it, since I’d probably have it on permanently anyway.
how do i turn dark mode on
The dark mode itself works just fine. A little glitchy for News and Videos, but I never use those anyway. The real reason I’m writing this is because of the new tab.
I can see form your other reviews that lots of people were happy when you added the new tab feature. The one without the ads and with the access to the bookmarks etc. Unfortunately, I have Tab For A Cause, which does have ads and uses them to donate to other charitable causes. Yet since this extension was installed I’ve had to forgo that to save a little power.
If you could add an option to not use the New Tab automatically, that would be an instant 4. Working out the thing with News and Vids will get you an instant 5. Thanks for taking the time to read, and for keeping me posted.
Not using until the forced new tab page is gone. I use Tab For A Cause and this overwrites that setting.
no sabia que existia
It works really well, I love ecosia so much already, and dark mode always makes everything better!! the one thing is, you shouldn’t need to download a dark mode and a normal mode to have both, it should be made so that you need to download only original and in settings be able to change it.
Merci pour se mode sombre ! ça fait vraiment du bien pour les yeux !
L’apparence est bien mais pour le texte des résultats de recherche, il manque de contraste. Il faudrait que celui-ci aie une couleur de police plus clair, même du blanc serait approprier car le texte n’occupe qu’une petite partie de l’écran et n’abîmerait pas les yeux
Très bonne application 😊😊👍👍mais je penser qu‘on pourrait le désactiver manuellement lieu de supprimer de chrome😢😢 mais je ne comprens pas pourquoi le compteur d’arbre ne marche pas !!!!!
I really like it! It’s comfortable and easy to work with
