Very expensive

Partly a bit slow
The browser is a top alternative to Safari and Google, and trees are still being planted. The only minus point: Sometimes the pages take a bit long to load, are not loaded at all or are displayed incorrectly. I'm also missing the feature of blocking adult content (preferably with a password).

There's no way to get rid of the annoying notifications that are now invading my screen. Too bad! I used it exclusively before that.

I am almost completely satisfied - unfortunately I am often shown "fractals" on the pages. So, the display of the pages is distorted from time to time and random excerpts from the website or similar appear on the screen. Unfortunately, this is very annoying and also really strange.

It's not bad, it has some drawbacks with some types of pages and plugs of these pages, hopefully when it will show the search result it will be organized in a slightly more aesthetic way like other browsers, otherwise it works well

I loved the app at first, however adding an "ai chat" section in the name of greener searching when Ecosia cannot confirm whether the third party they are using for their ai chat function is even sustainable! It just doesn't sit right with me.

Great in itself, but recently no longer usable. Pages don't load, it does, graphics look distorted.

It is not intuitive to bookmark a webpage! Under 3 dots in the upper right corner there are 2 options for bookmarks: 1 in the top row of the menu and 1 in the list. But, only that in the top row places a bookmarked webpage into the lastly specified bookmark folder automatically without the option to choose the destination folder. Only option left, is to move the bookmark afterwards in the appropriate folder. The intent to plant trees by searching the internet is enough for Ecosia to be chosen.

Promise to recognize the plants, while inside there is only rotten ecological advertising
