| 2025-01-17 |  | | en | i love ecosia! However, I noticed a strange glitch, perhaps? Nothing too earth-shattering but in the last week, I've noticed that whenever I open a new tab and hit "Enter" after searching something, the newly implemented (?) dark mode keeps going away. I have to keep going into my settings and change it back. Dark modes are much more accessible for me. But Ecosia switches it back to "System" even when I save it on "Dark". I wonder if it has to do with the most recent Chrome update, but even with setting Chrome's default appearance to dark, it keeps going back to light mode. Idk what conflict is happening but I hope it gets fixed! :-) |

| 2024-12-06 |  | | en | Pretty good, I just wish you were allowed to customize your background to anything, not just the set trees. It also does not give as much information as Google, nor does it pull up any tools I might need when I search for them. Oh, Also: If you do attempt to remove this browser extension, it will come back. I did to try to change my Google Background to a new one, but it still shows that it is on my Google. |
| 2024-12-01 |  | | en | Works great :) The only thing that Google does better is the information that's integrated right in the search results. Like when you google "weather <town>" it shows you the weather directly, without you having to click on a link. Or the unit-calculator when you google something like "5 inch in cm". Ecosia does that for translating words though. Apart from that, I see no reason to ever go back. |
