I've heard of Ecosia, but I've never heard of how exactly their model works. It sounds to good to be true, so I've always written it off as bullshit.
Ahh yes, the classic "it's not 100% good, so it's 100% bad" thinking
More like "a company doesn't do something out of the kindness of their own heart" thinking.
Maybe they are fantastic, but the idea of a company doing something positive for the world just by me using their product (for free) sounds outlandish.
Here are their financial reports.
