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 w... Show more

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.

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.

Ive been using it for a while but i was trying to get it to not be on all my accounts, since i only have it on one account, and i couldnt figure out how. Although, i saw that it automaticly has acces to protected content ids, payment handelers, and sign in information. Very very suspicious if you ask me. this is wrong, very wrong.

Super quick to install! You can still search with Google or Bing if you so please through Ecosia. It also has dark mode, yay!

I use it all the time, only fallback to google or bing when it isnt working appropriately. Use Ecosia, it's the right thing to do :)
