Ecosia
Ecosia is a web search engine and browser application that positions itself as an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional search engines. The app allows users to search the web while contributing to tree-planting projects, as Ecosia donates a portion of its ad revenue to reforestation efforts around the world. Based on search technology from Bing and other providers, Ecosia delivers standard web search results while supporting environmental causes. The macOS app provides a dedicated interface for accessing Ecosia's search service without needing to use a web browser.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the available information, the Ecosia Mac app (version 4.2.1) appears to be no longer actively maintained, and there's no evidence of a native Apple Silicon version being released. Given that Ecosia is primarily a web-based search engine, the most practical alternative is to simply use Ecosia directly through any modern web browser like Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, all of which have native Apple Silicon support. You can set Ecosia as your default search engine in your browser settings, which provides the same core functionality as the standalone app. This approach ensures you'll have full Apple Silicon compatibility while maintaining access to Ecosia's eco-friendly search features.
