Ecosia
Ecosia (derived from "eco" and "utopia") is a non-profit tech organisation based in Berlin, Germany. It runs its namesake internet search engine, which launched on 7 December 2009 to coincide with UN climate talks in Copenhagen. More recently the organisation have launched additional products such as a namesake web browser.
Ecosia delivers a combination of search results from Yahoo!, Google, Bing and Wikipedia.
Advertisements are delivered by Yahoo! and Microsoft Advertising as part of a revenue sharing agreement with the company.
Ecosia Chat is an AI chatbot powered by OpenAI's API which features a unique "green answers" option.
The Ecosia Browser is a proprietary web browser based on Chromium. The browser has a built-in ad blocker, AI chatbot, and a climate pledge rating that assess a company’s pledges on environmental sustainability. Ecosia has also committed to producing 25Wh of renewable energy for each day that a user browses with the browser.
Freetree, launched in 2022, was a browser extension that used commission from online shopping to plant trees. Ecosia announced in June 2025 that it was shutting Freetree because it "never reached enough users to scale sustainably".
Ecosia states in its privacy policy that it does not create personal profiles based on search history or use external tracking tools. The IP address and search queries of the user are given to either Microsoft Bing or Google to "provide search results and ads" and to "prevent bot attacks and frauds". Additionally, Ecosia shares the user's IP address with Tripadvisor and Wikimedia when images from those services are displayed.
For the Ecosia Chat feature, Ecosia retains queries to improve its service but does not store personal information. They do not share personal data with OpenAI; however, any information shared during chats is sent to OpenAI. Although the data from these chats will not be used to train OpenAI's models, chat data is stored in OpenAI's database for up to 30 days to allow access for issue resolution and conversation recovery.
