About this app

Search the web. Plant trees. Power the planet.

Ecosia is more than just a search engine β€” it’s a simple way to take climate action every day. Just by browsing the internet, you can help plant trees in biodiversity hotspots, support local communities, and combat climate change.

🌳 Search with purpose
Like other search engines, Ecosia earns money from ads. But unlike them, we use 100% of our profits to fund climate action. Over 230 million trees have already been planted across 35+ countries, restoring landscapes and saving wildlife.

πŸ”’ Your data stays yours
We only collect what's needed to deliver search results, and your searches are always encrypted. β€” We want trees, not your data.

⚑ Powered by the Sun
Ecosia runs on renewable energy. In fact, our solar plants generate twice the electricity we need to power your searches β€” pushing out fossil fuels from the electricity grid.

🌍 Climate positive & transparent
As a not-for-profit, steward-owned company, we publish monthly financial reports that show you exactly where your clicks go β€” toward real, measurable climate impact.

Download Ecosia and join a global community of millions taking meaningful action for the planet, one search at a time.

I love the whole concept of a web browser that focuses on conservation efforts - every search plants a tree! I also REALLY appreciate that the AI generated summary for search results is optional. Google forcing it on its users without an option to turn it off is another reason why I left it in favor of Ecosia. This browser has treated me well, and I've enjoyed using it.

Slightly better search results than Google Search these days, and slightly more private than using Google or Bing directly, though privacy isn't their primary focus. I appreciate the company's commitment to sustainability. The app, however, is just a stripped-down Chromium browser with an ad blocker. It's OK, but I'd rather use another browser and just change the search engine.

I've never had any issues with ecosia until now. recently if I want to open a new tab on the same site another tab is active on, it just redirects me to the previous tab that was already opened instead of letting me open a separate one. sometimes I want to have several tabs of the same site on different pages, but it no longer allows that which is really annoying.
