Ecosia: Search to plant trees

By: Ecosia App
Plant trees as you browse. Over 230 million trees planted

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Ecosia is a privacy-first search engine that turns everyday browsing into climate action. By using ad revenue, Ecosia donates 100% of its profits to fund tree-planting projects across 35+ countries, restoring biodiversity, supporting local communities, and fighting climate change. The extension highlights transparency with monthly financial reports and measurable impact — over 230 million trees planted to date.

Built as a not-for-profit, steward-owned company, Ecosia runs on renewable energy (solar plants that generate more than the electricity needed for searches) and only collects the minimum data required to deliver results. Install Ecosia to make your searches count: protect your privacy, power searches with clean energy, and contribute to global reforestation one click at a time.
