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
