One of the most common accesses to the internet is through a browser such as Chrome, Safari or Firefox from a device connected to the network and then do a search or type in a particular address. The selection of the browser depends on the preferences of each person and the device they are using, but among all the options there is one that has an ecological vocation: Ecosia.
What is Ecosia?
Scotland is an internet search engine, also known as an internet browser. Like its competitors, it generates income by selling part of its spaces to advertisers. The profits you make are used to plant trees in different parts of the world.
Another feature that distinguishes it is that it does not save browsing data of its users (cache, browsing history). That is, browsing is private and Ecosia does not have information about the sites that a person visited and therefore does not sell said data to advertisers to profile the target. Everything a person does in Ecosia is encrypted.
Anyone who uses the internet can contribute to the cause. Just add the Ecosia extension to Google Chrome to the toolbar or select Ecosia as your default search engine. In addition, in each search it is possible to see the count of the queries you have made and how many are left for plant a tree.
