Ecosia is a fucking scam. They claim that "every search plants a tree", except the monetary contribution towards their "tree-planting" stuff comes from clicking ads -- therefore if you are a knowledgeable user who purposefully skips over ads (or just use an ad-blocker) then Ecosia makes exactly $0 off of your traffic.
