About Ecosia: Search to plant trees
Ecosia is more than just a search engine — 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.
Your data stays yours: We only collect what's needed to deliver search results, and your searches are always encrypted. — 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 — 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 — 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.

Great service, with caveats
Their search engine is based on bings search engine, their privacy features are middle of the road, certainly better than google. Their mission seems to be accurate to their search engine, browser experience is fine on IOS (webkit backend), AI is understandable implementation, but doesn’t align with goals of company, and is mostly for staying competitive in the market, and should instead be off by default for most users. 7/10 Experience

heres to the downfall of ai.
For years, environmentally harmful AI chatbots and image generators have been infecting websites and millions of people’s lives with its “efficient” or “imaginative” persona. Browser’s like Google are no exception with their AI overviews and assistants. I really appreciate Ecosia for chiming in and actually doing something about this horrendous mess of a system. While yes, environmental activist websites have been a thing for decades, Ecosia acts as an alternative for one of the biggest monopolies to ever exist online. The app itself functions great even if I like the original google format a little bit better.
