| 2024-12-14 | Net_Hunter_90s | | Very bad. I use this on chrome and it changes the new tab and search engine but on Firefox, it changes only search engine but not the new tab. Why? Please explain. Is this a bug. |

| 2024-10-22 | Firefox user 17151115 | | Bug: when the parameter "&addonversion=4.1.4" is added inside the search URL (by this very addon) then Ecosia does not display all result category, nor the 2 leading adds in the search results. Namely, the Image tab is missing. When I manually delete those, then the tabs and adds come back. Also, the fact that you choose to make the two leading adds in the results far bigger than the rest makes me want to use my addblocker on ecosia.org... |
| 2024-10-17 | Varniit | | Hey Ecosia team, giving 2 stars as of now. Reasons. First, searches are way too limited and unhelpful. If I have to search something here, it means I should not be going back to Google. But out of 10 searches, 7 take me back to Google. For same reason, I have stopped using your default Ecosia browser on all devices. Consider improving searches. Also, what is this new thing forced called weather by accuweather on search results pages without any option to disable or remove it? Dont be like Bing or Google in this case. I could not disable it.Also, cant change the font as the current font is unreadable by me. I use your search on opera browser as default but in all these years, no major updates in search results. Second, Duckduckgo addon, not only allows us to change search engine but also gives us "option" change the new tab and homepage of browser, here Firefox. Try yourself. But ecosia addon doesnt, so if I had Ecosia addon installed, I see new tab or home tab as default firefox one with google search bar. Consider adding option to change home page image for this too both your collections and manually. Hoping, you will make this better and I will update my ratings thereafter. |
