Similar to how Ecosia plants trees and OceanHero recycles plastic, Ekoru.org has partnered with Big Blue Ocean Cleanup and Operation Posidonia to help keep our oceans clean and green.
🌎 How it helps
Using the Ekoru new tab homepage search bar for your internet searches, enables you to automatically support a global community of people working hard to conserve and restore the ocean environment and ocean floors.

- (2023-04-16) AutiCat474: i love this already! my only complaint is that i wish i could customize the background with my own pictures. everything else im okay with though!
- (2022-11-21) Daniel Roda: No funciona, al menos no en el escritorio, desde hace tiempo. Aparece un error que dice "We have detected a security violation with the request". En el móvil sí que funciona, te pide usar un navegador para mostrar los resultados de búsqueda.
- (2021-10-05) K60 Vũ Hải Ninh: On your search page (computer ver), I'd highly encourage you to change install app label into add extensions. The presumed hassle to install more apps into one's computer really prevents people from going the extra mile to save the environment. Basically to clear off the misunderstandings, tell them your search engine is an extension.
- (2021-04-26) Nicole Black: I think that it is a really easy and passive way to help make a change in the world! A little clunkier than using standard google, but honestly it help to really think about what you are searching for!
- (2021-01-27) A. J.: This is a browser, similar to oceanhero.today, but seems more focused on practical things like building partnerships, whereas oceanhero.today is more oriented to fun and children. That doesn't mean Ekoru has no fun features; for example, it lets you change the background colors to things like "Arctic white" and "dolphin grey" and "starfish pink." The one doubt that I have about Ekoru is the transparency. Information about their finances is not readily available on the website, nor is a detailed description of how many searches make a how big of an impact, nor evidence that they are contributing to their partner's efforts.
- (2021-01-19) Charb: I love this a lot. The only thing I would really want is a display of how many pounds, tonnes, or really weight measurement of how much has been removed/planted.
- (2020-10-27) Sky Beast: I don't see the background images that some people were talking about, and dark theme would be a great improvement (my eyes hurt after searching prolonged times with white light). It has a lot of room for improvement but so far it's pretty good, keep it up!
- (2020-09-27) Noah Leitschuh: Nice search engine! Love it!
- (2020-03-06) Eneko De Marcos: I love the premise of the search engine, and use it more my day to day searches despite it's rudimentary features which I understand will get better in time. As echoed by another user it would be ideal to get an update on how many users are using the search engine on a month to month basis or how many tonnes of plastic have been removed monthly in order to have transparency. Also a monthly report of financials like Ecosia provides would help the cause. Keep on doing great work!
- (2020-02-04) Yelizaveta Gnezdilova: So far so good, but there's one highly annoying thing: the headline of the tab with ekoru search results (as well as the tooltip on hover of the tab) statically shows the company motto about cleaning the oceans. I already know that fact, that's the reason I've chosen it, thanks! What I really need to see instead, is the current search term. I would appreciate this small but important improvement. Also, it would be nice to see the financial reports somewhere on the "about" page. The random backgrounds are super cool for a sea lover! It's nice that they weight nearly nothing (less than 50 Kb each, I've checked!) but bring so much joy and aesthetics. I believe it would be fair to list the author(s) somewhere on the "about" page. Just in case someone would like to check out their other works.
- (2019-12-20) Brendan Tyne: Anyone who cares for the ocean should install this. Good job guys. We need more companies helping the planet.
- (2019-12-19) Wendy Gilboa: I love this idea! The backgrounds on the new tabs are beautiful too. Everyone should install this to help our oceans,
- (2019-12-08) onder yildiz: eklenti çalışmıyor
- (2019-11-24) Sefa Çiçek: Daha fazla dil seçeneği, özelleştirilebilir ayarlar sunarsa çok daha iyi olur. Koyu tema mesela kesinlikle gerekiyor. Yeni sekme sayfasında beyaz ekrana bakmak kör ediyor.
- (2019-11-23) Adam Bentley: Love it! Everyone who loves animals and the environment should install this.
- (2019-11-23) Ati Bakush: Great idea. Helps the planet with every search. Background graphics for new tab are nice too.
