Ecosia Makes Bold Claims of "Greenest Browser on Earth"

[engine]

Ecosia is launching, it says, the "greenest browser on earth" based upon Chromium.
Its search engine is based upon an aggregation of Bing and Google, and plants trees as the search engine is used. So far, it's planted 205,380,335 trees.

The browser has a very small share of the market, but the CEO believes the new DMA (Digital Markets Act) will help give it a platform for growth.

Users will have access to Ecosia’s existing features, such as its green leaf icon, climate pledge rating, and newly launched AI Chat, powered by OpenAI. The chatbot generates “greener answers,” directing users to sustainable solutions.

The browser also contains a “sponsored links” feature, where users can shop online, while supporting Ecosia’s climate action projects at no extra cost. This will create a new revenue stream for the company which previously made all of its money via ad revenue.
