Hello and welcome to Scam Or Reliable!
Blog post: Online security
Like most people, you probably use Google, Bing, or Yahoo as your default search engine. But you should know that there are alternatives like “ECOSIA”, which in my opinion deserves much more recognition.
“Ecosia” is a search engine that uses part of its profits to plant trees.
The company donates 80% of the profits generated by searches to support projects around the world and has already, at the time of writing, planted over 27,000,000 trees!
In addition to being good for the planet, this search engine—unlike most of its competitors—respects your privacy. It doesn’t sell your data to advertisers and doesn’t allow third parties to track your activity!
The company is also fully transparent financially and publishes a monthly financial report on its website. For example:
In February 2018, “Ecosia” generated nearly €793,636 in revenue.
– €411,269 (51.8%) was allocated to tree planting
– €208,797 (26.3%) covered salaries, taxes, servers, office costs, etc.
– €104,013 (13.1%) was reserved for future investments and/or contingencies
– €69,557 (8.8%) was spent on advertising
That’s all well and good, but what about the search engine itself? Planting trees is great, but if the search results are disappointing and a waste of time, you might prefer another way to help the planet.
Don’t worry—”Ecosia” has nothing to envy from its competitors. It actually uses an algorithm combining Bing and Yahoo search results to deliver optimized search results!
So, since it’s free and helps the planet, are you ready to try this search engine and start planting trees?
If so, visit Ecosia.org!
