Imagine a web browsing experience that not only helps you find the information you need but also contributes to global environmental efforts. Ecosia is more than just a standard search engine or internet browser; it’s a powerful tool for making a positive impact on the planet every time you go online. By seamlessly integrating eco-conscious initiatives into your daily browsing habits, Ecosia enables users to actively participate in combating climate change while enjoying a user-friendly browsing environment.

Search with purpose — Ecosia transforms your everyday online searches into tangible climate action. Like other search engines, it earns revenue from ads, but what sets Ecosia apart is that 100% of its profits are dedicated to planting trees in biodiversity hotspots across the world. Since its inception, Ecosia has already planted over 230 million trees across more than 35 countries, helping restore landscapes, support local communities, and protect wildlife. Every search you perform fuels reforestation projects, making a real difference for the environment.

In an era where digital privacy is increasingly compromised, Ecosia prioritizes your security. The browser only collects the necessary data to deliver accurate search results, and all searches are encrypted. We want trees, not your data. This commitment ensures that your privacy remains protected while you browse comfortably, knowing that your personal information isn't sold or exploited.

Ecosia’s commitment to environmental sustainability extends beyond planting trees. The browser is powered entirely by renewable energy sources. Its own solar plants generate twice the electricity needed to support your web searches, actively replacing fossil fuel-based electricity in the grid. This innovative approach helps reduce the carbon footprint associated with online activities and promotes a cleaner, greener internet.

As a not-for-profit and steward-owned organization, Ecosia prides itself on transparency. The company publishes monthly financial reports that clearly detail where your search revenue goes—directly supporting climate-positive initiatives. This transparency allows users to see the tangible effects of their searches, fostering trust and encouraging more environmentally responsible browsing habits.

Switching to Ecosia offers many benefits for eco-conscious users seeking a reliable and efficient browser. Built on the Chromium platform, Ecosia shares the familiar interface and features of Google Chrome, making the transition seamless for users already accustomed to Chrome’s environment. It includes essential features like bookmarks, tabs, and incognito mode, ensuring a smooth browsing experience.

The intuitive, clean interface makes browsing hassle-free. Plus, every time you see the growing tree counter, you'll be reminded of the positive environmental impact your searches contribute to—adding a feel-good element to your everyday online activities. The browser is optimized for speed and reliability, ensuring quick page loads and minimal lags, whether you're conducting research or enjoying your favorite online content.

In addition to its environmental credentials, Ecosia is committed to user privacy. It does not sell or share your data with advertisers and does not build personal profiles based on your search history. This focus on privacy, combined with encrypted search, ensures a safe and secure browsing environment—so you can surf confidently without concerns over personal information being misused.

By choosing Ecosia as your default internet browser, you become part of a global community dedicated to environmental sustainability. Every search becomes a step toward reforestation, climate mitigation, and biodiversity preservation. It’s a simple, impactful way to make a difference—one search at a time.
