☻ How it works
Ekoru is a search engine that helps clean our ocean. When you need to search for stuff, we can help you find it – just like Google. 60% of our profits go to our partner charities Big Blue Ocean Cleanup and Operation Posidonia who clean plastic from our oceans and reforest them by replanting seagrass.
☻ Searches Powered by Hydro-electricity
All of our servers are powered by hydro-electricity. This ensures that your searches have the lowest carbon footprint possible.

This is a browser, similar to oceanhero.today, but seems more focused on practical things like building partnerships, whereas oceanhero.today is more oriented to fun and children. That doesn’t mean Ekoru has no fun features; for example, it lets you change the background colors to things like “Arctic white” and “dolphin grey” and “starfish pink.” The one doubt that I have about Ekoru is the transparency. Information about their finances is not readily available on the website, nor is a detailed description of how many searches make a how big of an impact, nor evidence that they are contributing to their partner’s efforts.
I love this a lot. The only thing I would really want is a display of how many pounds, tonnes, or really weight measurement of how much has been removed/planted.
I don’t see the background images that some people were talking about, and dark theme would be a great improvement (my eyes hurt after searching prolonged times with white light).
It has a lot of room for improvement but so far it’s pretty good, keep it up!
Nice search engine! Love it!
I love the premise of the search engine, and use it more my day to day searches despite it’s rudimentary features which I understand will get better in time. As echoed by another user it would be ideal to get an update on how many users are using the search engine on a month to month basis or how many tonnes of plastic have been removed monthly in order to have transparency. Also a monthly report of financials like Ecosia provides would help the cause.
Keep on doing great work!
So far so good, but there’s one highly annoying thing: the headline of the tab with ekoru search results (as well as the tooltip on hover of the tab) statically shows the company motto about cleaning the oceans. I already know that fact, that’s the reason I’ve chosen it, thanks! What I really need to see instead, is the current search term. I would appreciate this small but important improvement.
Also, it would be nice to see the financial reports somewhere on the “about” page.
The random backgrounds are super cool for a sea lover! It’s nice that they weight nearly nothing (less than 50 Kb each, I’ve checked!) but bring so much joy and aesthetics. I believe it would be fair to list the author(s) somewhere on the “about” page. Just in case someone would like to check out their other works.
Anyone who cares for the ocean should install this. Good job guys. We need more companies helping the planet.
I love this idea! The backgrounds on the new tabs are beautiful too. Everyone should install this to help our oceans,

Daha fazla dil seçeneği, özelleştirilebilir ayarlar sunarsa çok daha iyi olur.
Koyu tema mesela kesinlikle gerekiyor. Yeni sekme sayfasında beyaz ekrana bakmak kör ediyor.
Love it! Everyone who loves animals and the environment should install this.
Great idea. Helps the planet with every search. Background graphics for new tab are nice too.
