![]() While you can’t really dispute the claims made by 2Spyware, just keep in mind that literally everything they criticize about Ecosia is also true for Google, Bing, Yahoo, and any other search engine you use. But given the track record of the team at Ecosia I’m pretty confident they aren’t out to scam people.Įcosia does however get criticism from a few sites online, including an article from 2Spyware claiming that Ecosia is a browser-hijacker, and borderline virus. Ecosia after all is still a pretty small company with roughly 8 million users (although this is growing really fast).Īs far as the misleading search results or collecting data go, this isn’t really something we can test. While this is well shy of the ~1.5 trillion trees that experts say are needed to offset the carbon we’ve added to the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, it’s still nothing to laugh at. In 2019 Ecosia claims to have surpassed 65 million trees planted. I think the big concern here is that they might not be planting the trees they claim to be.
