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.

Looks solid, great cause. I'm feeling it out to see if it gives me the experience I get when using Chrome. One thing that I think needs changing is the design. When results come up the font seems very square and formal, the boxes that contain the results are square, pointy, harsh. Personally I think that it needs a more bubbly, comfortable and happy look to go with your cause. It's what I expect when looking at your logo. Not at all that when I go in. Hopefully you implement this, Thanks :)

Great browser that runs smoothly, and plants trees for every 45 searches, even keeps track of it! An effortless way to keep your data private and plant trees. I do wish it remembered my settings, for example country of search (ie. I have to reset it to a different country every time I search if I want my results in the right language. Just a small nuisance, still better than chrome :p)

Lowered my rating because while I love this browser for its cause and what it fights for, it has become absolutely useless since a couple days and can't find a single thing I'm asking. I'm French, I tried searching in French and English, changing the default region to France or other countries, in vain. The browser keeps telling me there's no result to my research while others easily find it. I don't want to let Ecosia go, but as of now, it's of no use to me. :(
