➤ How it works
Ecosia is a search engine like Google, but very different: we use our ad revenue to plant trees where nature and people need them most. The Ecosia community has already planted millions of trees in Ethiopia, Brazil, Indonesia, Spain, as well as many other biodiversity hotspots.
➤ Privacy, not just promises
We’re interested in trees, not your data: we don’t save your searches, we don’t track the websites you visit, we don’t sell your data to advertisers, and your searches are always SSL-encrypted.
➤ CO2 positive
CO2 neutral is not enough. Thanks to our solar plant and the Ecosia forests around the world, each of your searches removes around 1 kg of CO2 from the atmosphere.
➤ Radical transparency
Trust has to be earned. That’s why we publish our monthly financial reports and tree-planting receipts on our website. We also signed a legal contract that requires us to stay true to our not-for-profit cause, forever.

➤ What others are saying:
“By making Ecosia your search engine you can actually help the environment one search at a time.”
– The Guardian
“If that’s not incredible fundraising progress by a single company, we’re not sure what is.”
– Treehugger
it is great and it is also for a great cause the only reason its not 5 stars is because you can not customize it like a new tab on google.
Love that Ecosia allows my daily internet usage to contribute to helping the environment. However, I really hope they work to improve the quality of their search results soon. I struggle to find any image/gif/video that I need, and more importantly whenever I search a hot button issue (e.g. “wind farm”), Ecosia returns pages and pages of conspiracy theories and low-information fake news websites. Dear Ecosia, please do something about this!
It did everything a search engine is supposed to do. Honestly I have no complaints except, THE IMAGE SEARCH IS INCREDIBLY CREEPY. I know I word things weird but google & Bing wouldn’t show me the atrocities that I have seen when I click the image tab on this browser. Otherwise plz feel free to download this extension.
I love the cause and how transparent they are!
Ben blij dat ik ook dan iets kan doen.
this extension is great but the nly one problem is that if i want to view shopping items i have to open google to do that
I appreciate what it does, but the fact that it doesn’t calculate in the search bar like google does is kind of a deal breaker for me(I know that sounds extreme, but I genuinely use that constantly), I’ll start using it again if that gets added
Muito bom! Pesquisei sobre e é real…
Ecosia est super on fait des recherches et, on plante des arbres.
Une facon très facile d’aider la planete tout en faisant nos recerches sur internet.
JE RECOMMANDE A 100000000 pourcents
I love trees, so that’s why I love this extension. If you don’t like trees then imagine living without any, First thing is without trees you wont survive because we wouldn’t be able to breathe. Second thing is that for those people out there that LOVE animals then without trees they won’t survive because they need shelter and they hide from any bigger animals that can attack them. So that’s my little story about this extension I really hope we can all save trees together and download this extension.

Just a good thing and such and easy way to make a small impact…..
I loved the ad where it mentioned ethiopia. I have family there, and when i realized they needed trees I clicked the link immediently 🙂 Get it, worth the KB
i think its pretty cool and similar to the google that we’re used to
I love this idea but the search engine is a bit rubbish. BUT THAT WOULND STOP ME USING IT
I watch a video that say it legit and how it work. let save the planet
It took out all of my bookmarks and removed me from all of my signed in google accounts. Please do yourself a favor and do not install this application.

I can’t have google homepage and I don’t want ecosia homepage
Ecosia is amazing, they use there money for good, and to help save the planet. Works great so why not help save the planet? I love keeping track of how many trees im helping grow!.
Desde hace mucho tiempo uso Ecosia como buscador. Da gusto colaborar en la mejora del medio ambiente. Excelente iniciativa.
It’s an amazing search engine
It would be great if we could keep our Google Theme on the New Tab page when using this extension. Fantastic search engine regardless.
Ima spam
Knowing that you are doing a little bit of good with each search feels terrific! (I do wish it worked with Google Search not just Bing, as Google has the better search engine)
