Description
Search the web. Plant trees. Power the planet.
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Incredible in every way
I’ve used Ecosia for around 2 months now, and I have to say it is fabulous. The general concept of planting trees is amazing and gives you a sense of pride and satisfaction every time you search for something. I love how Ecosia is so clear and honest with its users unlike many other companies and search engines (not giving names). The results are great and I would say close to being just as good as google, however, from time to time, I have to quickly search using google if I can’t find the answer I’m looking for. What I think could be improved is that Ecosia could put the most relevant answer to a search query in a box at the top just as google does. This saves time so that we don’t need to press links and can just get the answer to our searches. Overall, if you’re reading this, Ecosia is really worth putting as your main search engine as: it helps the environment massively, gets more jobs for people, has nearly as good results as Google (and definitely better results than other search engines), shows you what they do with their profits, respects your privacy (which is not the case with many search engines) and is just an outstanding search engine.
Plant trees!
I installed and deleted Google's search app several times. It uses storage fast and I don't like the feeling of my every move being tracked and linked to everything else.
Ecosia takes up a lot less space. My every move might still be tracked across platforms, but at least something good comes from it. There's always the question, how do you know you're doing good? Google think they're doing good building the internet of things. But as someone who planted a lot if trees once said, planting trees was good in the past, and we thank those that planted the trees we see around us in our towns and cities. Planting trees still seems like a good idea now, and I bet that the people of the future will thank us for the trees we planted.
5 years using.
I have loved Ecosia, and it’s been my default browser for five years solid. however recently in the last year I kept having to ask google the same question as ECOSIA will not get the direct answers or links, websites immediately. It started to become exhausting, finding the information quickly, often getting utterly useless or not precise links first.i was Forever scrolling to find the information. I’m devestated thst Ive finally had to switch back to safari and giggle, simply to keep life easy and efficient.
For basic info, Ecosia is great but it just drive me nuts trying to find more detailed websites or links, and I’m a patient person. It just offers completely different websites when you type in the same thing on google or safari.
Incredible work you are all doing at Ecosia snd my five years with you are my most incredible, but for sanity I had to switch over back to the giants. Very sad about it too. Good luck and hope this can be looked at as you guys are the dream browser for me as I have not planted enough trees personally.
