Extension summary

SearchScene is a search engine that donates 95% of its profits to charities, especially those that focus on climate change.

We offer a first-class search experience and we display stunning scenery on our homepage that changes every day.

Help make the world a better place by installing SearchScene on your browser.

By adding this extension, you make SearchScene your default search engine only. If you wish to also make SearchScene your homepage and new tab, search the web store for "SearchScene" and install our other extension called "SearchScene - The Charitable Search Engine".

➤ How it works: We earn money through advertising, just like any other search engine. The big difference is that, instead of hoarding it all, we donate 95% of our profits to major international charities. We support charities that help to fight climate change and alleviate the suffering caused by climate change. You can choose the charities you wish to support by visiting our homepage at SearchScene.com and clicking on the charity icon in the top right hand corner of the page.

➤ A first-class search experience: SearchScene provides the latest, rich-content search results that you've come to expect from your usual search engine, like Google or Bing. This includes images, videos, news, detailed knowledge panels and instant answers embedded in your web search results. We also offer dedicated image search, news search and video search, which allows you to play videos without even leaving our site. Our search results are provided by Bing and enhanced with our own algorithms, giving you a truly first-class search experience.

I've been using SearchScene for a few weeks now, and have liked it enough to use across all of my devices. Sometimes it takes a little longer (two seconds opposed to one) and I need to scroll down further than previously to get to the exact result, but very relevant results. It is good to know that I am using an ethical company rather than the all-seeing-eye.

Great cause, great scenery, good search results. Highly recommend. In my opinion it's the best and easiest way to help the environment. Comparing it to its main extension, this one brings results from SearchScene, and their add-ons. But whatever your default browser is (Edge, Chrome), that stays the same on your homepage and startup page. You can still generate money for SearchScene. I only recommend you install this if your computer is not that powerful and can't handle the main extension. Otherwise, you should probably just install the main one instead. Still, SearchScenes main concept is done quite well.
