The Ecosia Browser Authors

The Ecosia Browser Authors are a small, sustainability-focused development collective whose only public Windows title is the self-titled Ecosia Browser, a Chromium-derived client that automatically routes every web search through the company’s CO₂-negative search engine and donates the resulting ad revenue to global reforestation projects. Built on the same Blink engine that powers Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, the browser behaves like any mainstream navigator—tabbed browsing, extension support, synced bookmarks, password manager integration, dark mode, and built-in tracker blocking—yet it adds a real-time sapling counter to the new-tab page so users can watch trees planted on their behalf. Typical use cases include eco-conscious consumers who want to shrink the carbon footprint of daily web activity, schools and NGOs that need a free, policy-compliant browser for public labs, and enterprises seeking an ESG-friendly alternative for staff workstations without sacrificing compatibility with Office 365, Google Workspace, or legacy intranet portals. Because the installer is lightweight and the update cadence follows Chromium’s stable channel, IT departments can roll it out quickly and keep it current with minimal overhead. The Ecosia Browser Authors’ software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always fetch the newest release, and can be queued for batch installation alongside other applications.
