Ecosia is a German search engine company which donates 80% of its revenue to planting trees. They take Bing, reskin it, and spend the profits from advertising on planting trees. They’re up to about 175,000,000 trees so far.

Edit: This is just a convenient way to turn something you do every day (use a search engine) into a force for good. It’s a slow process, 1 tree ≈ 45 searches, but you were going to make those searches anyway, might as well plant trees! Think of it as the digital equivalent of buying local food.

    This is an incredibly minor thing, but does anyone know if there’s a fix to the white bar at the top on safari on iOS? Pictures comparing Ecosia vs DuckDuckGo:

      I would submit those screenshots to the folks who work there. I bet they would be interested to know the their dark mode has that issue on iOS. I use Android so I can’t help you there, sorry!
