Programmers are the greatest browsing community (SO mostly)…We can singlehandedly save the planet.

I use Ecosia and let me tell you, Google has nothing on this search engine.

• It’s easy to free up your cache and delete cookies. The option is immediately viewable in settings instead of hidden away in the alcoves of who knows where.
• Unless you favorite a page, it automatically clears it after 7 days, which is awesome if you hate clearing tabs like I do.
• They plant trees everywhere.
• Ecosia updates you on their progress- not with annoying update notifications, but with a button you can click as you type up your search if you’re curious.
• The tree count is shown just beneath the search bar.
• It is an app too and only takes up 18.2 MB. That’s the equivalent of nine live pictures on your phone.
• You can view your own tree count. Mine’s 2,475 trees. I have had the app for six months. Do you know how much acreage that is? It’s a heckin’ ton of acres.
• It has a safe search mode that actually works.

It’s true!

Boosting because this looks really cool! It doesn’t have the wildcard capabilities I need for my job, so I probably can’t use it that much, but maybe others can!
