Ecosia Reviews 286

An amazing search engine - not only for what it does but how it works. It is strange to get used to but if you type your search and end the search with #yt it goes directly to youtube. If you end in #g it goes to google. For example, if ecosia didn't find the socks I was looking for I would write socks#g and it would go directly to google. I think there are even more shortcuts that I just don't know about, I think to amazon too! It also plants trees and is just an amazing organization all together.

Number 1 search engine I ever used it's efficient fast and gets what I want.
And best thing is it uses most its profits in a good way to plant trees for environment planet earth
Would not use any other search engine. But it sucks for its maps services.

Good Search Engine!
Bing is kinda weird and I would prefer DuckDuckGo but I use it anyway.
I like the Idea.

I have been using the Ecosia search engine since I saw it recommended on the 2040 website. At that time Ecosia had planted 50,000,000 trees, it has now planted over 100,000,000 trees. I set Ecosia as my default search engine. It would be good if more people used Ecosia as it not only plants trees, it is also better than carbon neutral. It is certainly to be recommended for anyone who cares about the future of our planet.
Ecosia also has a shop selling sustainable products.

Its a virus DO NOT DOWNLOAD it slows down your computer a lot

Fantasic idea for planting trees. loving it.

Ecosia changed my life around. It's better than Google, they run on 100% solar power. For each search, they plant one tree. Merchandise plants 20 trees! I love Ecosia, even if I can, I will NEVER turn away from this spectacular search engine. :)

I love Ecosia's goal! Although it's a bit annoying that what you're searching for doesn't immediately come up, it's a small price to pay for planting trees. I have planted 20 so far and it's nice to know that something so trivial can have such a huge impact on the environment!

Doesn't ever give me what I am searching for so I just do random searched in the hope that they will actually plant some trees

i like the idea of it but i feel like there isn't as much information as like on google for example. like if im trying to search up the definition of something it will take me to this website instead of giving me a straight up definition.

Really good search engine that uses 80% of it's profits to help plant trees and help people who plant trees.

Based in Berlin this is very good search engine even with the tree planting as a extra insensitive to use it.

I love Ecosia. Such a lovely concept! I hope with a larger amount of users the search engine can improve a bit, sometimes (rarely) I have to use Google to find more specific things. Makes you very trustworthy when you put up the financial statements! It's also nice to follow the projects you do a bit. Very good job, keep up (:
Also, I think it would be very cool if (as in Google) when you search for measuring or currency conversation that it would pop up (e.g. you search 10DKK in USD, press enter and then it appears directly on the top of the searches in Ecosia as opposed to having to go into one of the websites and making the conversion yourself, would be neat).
Sometimes with pictures as well, a lot of them seem to be somewhat irrelevant to the search.
But overall great concept and cool company. Will continue to use and recommend.

UI and design is great of use, however the search engine requires to remove ad blocker and the search engine as not good as google or yahoo. Therefore, the feature of search engine could be improved.

Ecosia is the best searching, because:
* Ecosia’s servers run on 100 percent on solar energy.

* Ecosia plants trees where it is needed, for example The Amazon rainforest, Burkina Faso and much more…
Ecosia creates YouTube video
* Ecosia do not sell any of your personal information( Privacy friendly)
* Revenue is created by clicks on ads.

* Ecosia travel is a hotel booking website. They plant an average 20 trees per booking.

* Ecosia also sells t-shirts on EcosiaShop: Ecosia Clothing

* they have a blog

Ecosia is the best. I have been using Tab for a Cause Chrome addon but I like more planting trees idea so I switched for Ecosia.

I find it very fast and friendly search engine. I like its design and the purpose of a better and healthier environment I think is ingenious and very innovative.

I recommend Ecosia to all friends of planet Earth :-). Thanks.

BThis search engine will do the same as any other while helping plant trees.
My only issue is I have started to receive a lot of nunk from Ecosia. If I can't turn off the junk then you will leave me no choice but to remove hour app.
I did this to help the environment not so I can get all types of offers I have zero interest in.

Overall, a pretty good service. It could use some work for the search results for programming information but overall I find myself not missing google that much.

i stick to ecosia but sometimes i have to use google for better search results. also if i type something slightly weird or specific, all the images are just porn.

The entire scheme is innovative, productive and very humane. With very little public input, the difference it makes for communities and ecosystems, somehow BOTH economically and environmentally, around the world is just... inspirational and hopeful. Showing us that even with all the global crises we face right now, there are solutions and anyone can be part of them. This is truly amazing! I hope that many other corporations and organizations take note of this. Thank you Ecosia!

I have tried to set ecosia as my page for months. My Microsoft edge blocks me at every stage. The ecosia site shows how to set the page, on pages that are nothing like the pages I see! The web site is blocked at every turn and there is no where of emailing my willingness to join but inability to do so ???!!! If you want to save the planet, save your energy and pick up litter and plant your own tree! a company that cant help you get to it is going to fail
