Versions:
Ecosia Browser, developed by The Ecosia Browser Authors and currently at version 146.1.7680.12, positions itself as an environmentally conscious web browser whose core promise is to be “the greenest browser on Earth.” Built on the Chromium engine, the application belongs to the Browser category and is designed for users who want everyday Internet activities—searching, streaming, shopping, or working in web apps—to contribute directly to global reforestation. Every ad-generated search query triggers ad revenue that Ecosia’s non-profit parent commits to tree-planting projects, with public financial reports and satellite imagery offered for transparency. Beyond its ecological mission, the browser supplies standard productivity features such as tab grouping, built-in ad and tracker blocking, encrypted DNS lookups, and sync across desktop and mobile devices, making it suitable for students researching assignments, professionals handling cloud documents, and households streaming media. Privacy-minded settings include the option to clear browsing data on exit and to disable third-party cookies by default, while a lightweight extension API preserves compatibility with popular Chromium add-ons for password management, coupon finders, or developer tooling. Since its debut the project has issued 61 documented versions, iterating on energy-saving optimizations, memory efficiency, and carbon footprint telemetry so users can view estimated CO₂ offsets within the new-tab dashboard. Organizations can deploy the browser fleet-wide to align IT policy with sustainability targets, and individual adopters can import bookmarks and history from legacy browsers within minutes. Ecosia Browser is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
