I was a little nervous that jt would stay gone as it was a decent carrot to keeping me motivated into doing my part to have those those trees planted by using the service from searching and clicking on ads.

I like the new emote option card that allows you to rate your search results. It looks nice and makes it easy to give feedback.

Hopefully this will hasten the search results improvements.

You can add Ecosia as a search engine to Firefox Android by going to Settings - Default Search Engine - Add then entering the following:

This will also allow you to use the Firefox Search widget on your home screen to search Ecosia.

I tried using the Addon to no avail, so I had to manually add the search myself.

Thanks for creating the community! I had forgotten to use Ecosia on Android for a while now. So much missed opportunity

I personally been using it for almost 5 years. I heard about it from a colleague a few years before that but I forgot about it, and then an online ad reminded me to check them out again.
