Love Ecosia! Thanks for planting trees and not spying on me. Would love if you beefed up your shopping feature like Google has but otherwise it's amazing.

素晴らしい！Idle ForestIdle やrefoorestと併用します。「ググる」よりもecosiaを使用したほうがいい！（拍手） Great! Use it in conjunction with Idle ForestIdle and refoorest. It's better to search using ecosia than using Google search!(applause)
