This is a necessary reminder that Ecosia is a scam:
- they don’t “plant trees” but rather contribute very little amounts to existing programmes
- “Every search plants a tree” is a lie. It’s not every search, but rather every couple clicks on an ad
- They use Bing results making them useless
If you’re using Ecosia with an adblocker or knowingly skip over sponsored results then you are NOT in any way contributing to the tree-planting
Does not sound like a scam.
The build a website, with ads, and donate the revenue.
It is a scam if you make claims that “every search plants a tree”
How many trees have you planted?
If fruit trees count then around 50, why?
Why would fruit trees ever be excluded from one’s aggregate tree count?
I’d like to try using this, but I like to search by “all regions” and it won’t ever save my preferences in Fennec
