About this app

Search the web. Plant trees. Fund climate projects.

Ecosia is more than just a search engine — it's your way to support climate action and tree planting projects every day, just by browsing the internet.

🌳 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 250 million trees have already been planted across 35+ countries.

šŸ”’ 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.

⚔ Our solar plants
Searching requires energy. Ecosia invests into renewable energy, phasing out fossil fuels from the electricity grid.

šŸŒ Transparency & Ownership
As a not-for-profit, steward-owned company, we publish monthly financial reports that show you which organisations were funded.

Download Ecosia and join a global community of millions taking meaningful action, one search at a time.
Plant trees as you browse. Over 250 million trees planted

I love it! The resulting search for the same exact phrase or terms are either the same or very similar in the quality info yielded. Plus no extensive amount of scrolling through ads. The phone app (Android) doesn't give me any search server errors but the search on my mac computer sometimes does. Don't know if relevant to the system, but worth mentioning. Not too often to be an issue though, just once in a while.

I'm very happy I can use Ecosia as a standard web browsing app, but I just wish some of the features were as nice and detailed as the others. One feature I can think of that would be greatly helpful for me is if I were able to drag tabs around to reorganize them. That's something I could do on Google Chrome/Safari, and I just wish we could do that on Ecosia as well. Other than that I really appreciate Ecosia's mission in planting trees!

Issue with playing video just occurred. Tried deleting and reinstalling, but whenever I play any video (even ads), the play speed is like 4x faster than normal. If I try to go, say, half speed, it goes to half of normal speed. Other than this (and image search being very mediocre), it works completely great, and is doing a lot of good. I cannot express how happy I am with it. I'm, without paying a penny, responsible for collectively around 100 trees, which includes native trees too.
