Similar to the Ecosia search engine, the new browser will allow users to contribute to planting trees as it is used. Since its inception, the company has already planted 200 million trees.
Clean solar energy
Ecosia browser will be powered by renewable solar energy from its own company's power plants. According to the developers, when browsing the web, the browser will actually generate "green" energy - about 25 watt-hours per day per user, which is equivalent to running a light bulb for three hours. This may seem like a small number, but when multiplied by Ecosia's 20 million search engine customers, the cumulative effect becomes significant.
Optimized performance
The developers claim that the Ecosia browser is optimized to improve page loading speed. With a built-in ad blocker, pages will load three times faster than most major browsers, while reducing data and energy consumption.
Familiar interface and features
Built on the Chromium platform, the Ecosia browser will be familiar to users Chrome. This includes browsing preferences, security features such as password management and SSL encryption, as well as access to existing Ecosia capabilities such as the green leaf icon, climate pledge rating and the recently launched OpenAI-powered AI Chat generating "greener responses" .
New source of income
The Ecosia browser includes a "sponsored links" feature that will allow users to shop online while supporting Ecosia's climate change projects without additional costs. This will create a new source of income for a company that previously made money solely from advertising. Ecosia says all its profits go directly to tree-planting projects around the world and now to clean energy production.
Browser Availability
The Ecosia browser is available for Mac and Windows computers via the download page , as well as for mobile devices through app stores for Android and iOS.
