sooi callebaut (ID: 000000a8abb69853) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/13/2024 Eindelijk geen schuldgevoel meer bij zoekacties!!! Ik hoop dat ecosia uitgroeit tot een van de meest gebruikte zoekmachines! Enkel nog aan het zoekniveau van google geraken (enigste reden waarom mijn vrienden het niet installeren) en er gaat weer een hele wereld open! Update, 3 jaar later en ik kan zeggen dat ik zelden nog een beter resultaat krijg bij andere zoekmachienes!

Andrés Quintero (ID: 0000009943847dba) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/21/2023 I'm quite enthusiastic about the concept of a search engine that supports tree planting efforts. However, I've noticed some concerning elements while reviewing your privacy practices. The mention of network monitoring, click tracking, mouse positions, scrolling behavior, and particularly keylogging records raises some questions for me. Could you kindly shed light on why these practices are in place? For now I stay away from the extension.

Marcos Lara (ID: 000000e8f53545d2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/03/2023 Es una magnífica idea poder ayudar al planeta plantando árboles, es inevitable buscar información en internet, pero si podemos lograr que esos beneficios vayan a objetivos ecológicos y sostenibles, mejor que mejor.

Shemay (ID: 000000e6d4640760) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/31/2023 I've been using this for 2 years and recently Ecosia became slower compared to using without it. I hope ecosia fix this.
