by Firefox user 15300136, 7 years agoThe world desperately needs more thoughtful, Eco-friendly innovation and development like this! I'm already telling everyone I know about this! Can you imagine if every search was done using Ecosia how much CO2 we could reduce from the atmosphere? It seems like more people need to know about this and fast! This is one of the best ideas i have seen yet to help with Climate change. Most crucially, because of it's simplistic function, the average person makes little to no sacrifice, and are still able to help the cause everyday. This is the kind of thing even the most unmotivated person can do without even trying, because its something they're always doing anyway. Globally, people of all walks of life are using search engines countless times a day at home, at work, and literally anywhere their phones get reception. The idea of working an environmental benefit into such a common and necessary part of our lives is just the kind of innovative business model the Earth & her people need more of! The faster the better! Thank you Ecosia, for showing the world that fighting climate change can be worked into everyday life, woven into almost any industry, and that even when it takes little effort from the individual, it can leave them with a good feeling, knowing they helped in a small way.
WIN! WIN! WIN! Am I right? lol Great Work Team!!!! A+++

- Rated 1 out of 5by irene, a month agoi thought about using this search engine, but they seem to be proudly ai use now, not green.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Briadd-on, a month ago4 stars only because I don't see anyone else exceeding at what they do, but they can still improve a ton.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Leoqf, 3 months agoI'm still using it with deactivated IA features because idk if there's any better but this is shameful. Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean you have to. Using generative AI which is harming the planet and spreading misinformation is a big dump on your core values.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Ophexis, 4 months agoDisappointing that they use AI. This browser is supposed to be green, but they use features that actively harms the planet and communities and promotes misinformation.
- Rated 1 out of 5by KT, 4 months agoRemoved because of recently added GenAI features. GenAI is killing the planet.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19696828, 4 months agoAdded AI features that kill the point of using the app.
- Rated 1 out of 5by StopTrackinMe, 4 months ago1 star and uninstalling because AI integration destroys the planet and contradicts the whole point of having this in the first place, also the search database they use got full of ai slop, so even if you disable ai ALOT of the articles you get will also be written by ai and there is no effective way offered to disable or exclude ai articles/sites from search results (except excluding all search items post around 2020 witch is not always convenient or feasible if you are looking for something that needs to be up to date). It is a shame because otherwise a good idea and solid engine, and also personally a shame because now I have to go find a search engine that actually still works like a search engine.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Alexandre, 5 months agoClaims to save the planet but uses generative AI lmaoooo, even if they claim their AI is the most "green" one it doesnt change a thing, ai is still doing incredible damage to the planet even if you hide behind your lies
- Rated 4 out of 5by Twelve, 5 months agoSo, I have a problem with Ecosia honestly not being kept as the default, therefore, lying into a vicious cycle of downloading the extension all over again, I don't know if this is a bug or not.
you also use AI Overview, which I tried to search for the amount of water cooling but found no answer on how much water cooling it requires
At least you are being honest about finance, which the server (operational) costs are in second place according to your finance blog - Rated 5 out of 5by RomeoBravo, 6 months ago
