About Ecosia Browser
Ecosia Browser is Ecosia's own Chromium-based browser. Its search engine is built into the address bar, and search activity funds tree planting and renewable energy, which you can follow from an Ecosia profile.
It adds a privacy panel that warns about unsafe sites and applies your cookie preferences to every site, an energy saver that limits background activity, and an AI assistant that Ecosia says runs on European servers with smaller models.
Strengths
- Ecosia search integrated in the address bar
- Automatic cookie preferences and unsafe site warnings
- Energy saver that limits background activity
Limitations
- Built around Ecosia search and its ad-funded model
- Privacy features are lighter than hardened browsers
