Mozilla is partnering with Ecosia, the climate-first search engine, making it a default option in some markets in Europe.

Ecosia is a search engine that provides results from the leading search engines, including Bing, Google, Wikipedia, and Yahoo. The company gives users control over their own privacy, as well as the level of customization they want from the source search engines.

The feature that most sets Ecosia apart, however, is that it uses 100% of its profits to plant trees, working with local organizations to “restore and protect biodiversity hotspots.” The company has planted 222 million trees in more than 35 countries.

Mozilla is partnering with Ecosia to make it one of the default options in the list of search engines included with the Firefox web browser.

Your tech choices matter more than ever. That’s why at Mozilla, we believe in empowering users to make informed decisions that align with their values. In that spirit, we’re excited to announce we’re growing our partnership with Ecosia, a search engine that prioritizes sustainability, and social impact. After Germany, we are now offering the option to choose the climate-first search engine in Austria, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

Mozilla says the two companies are working to contribute to a more open and inclusive web.

Together, Mozilla, Firefox and Ecosia are contributing to a web that is more open and inclusive, but above all — one where you can make an informed choice about what tech you use and why. Your tech choices make a difference.

As Firefox and Mozilla continue to champion user empowerment and innovation, we invite you to join us in shaping a web that makes the world better. Together, let’s make a positive impact — one search at a time.

Firefox currently ships with Google as the default web browser, but that arrangement is under threat by the Google’s antitrust loss. One of the issues the DOJ focused on was Google’s deal with Mozilla to pay it hundreds of millions per year to remain the default Firefox search engine. Mozilla has been vocal in its opposition to the DOJ’s efforts to prohibit Google from making such deals, saying it will hurt Firefox, as well as other independent browsers.

Despite Mozilla’s opposition to the DOJ derailing its deal with Google, the Ecosia deal would seem to indicate the organization is hedging its bets.
