What is Ecosia?
Ecosia is a search engine founded in Berlin, Germany, that donates 80% or more of its profits to non-profit organizations focused on reforestation.In the initial phase of getting its search results, Ecosia used Yahoo! search results, but in the following years it started to combine and show results from Bing and Wikipedia as well.
Today, the company shows search results by improving the data it receives from Bing with its own algorithms. The company's biggest source of revenue is advertising display, and it has a revenue sharing agreement with Yahoo in this area.
Ecosia can be used as a web browser or mobile app on PC and Macintosh in addition to Android and iOS devices.
In 2018, Ecosia committed to being a privacy-friendly search engine. For this purpose, searches made by users are encrypted, user information is not stored or sold to third parties. It states that it does not use external tracking tools like Google Analytics that track the user.
Ecosia displays advertisements alongside search results and earns revenue each time a user clicks on a sponsored link and is directed to the advertiser.
