- (2023-09-28) Dina Droubi: I just started using it and it has made me very happy. For my Microsoft Edge, it was extremely simple to install and use. My only complaint is that I wish the Search site (oceanhero.today) had a dark mode. Because my eyes are very sensitive, I prefer the dark mode over the light or ocean modes...
- (2023-08-10) Tyler Wangsgard: This extension is great! I've had it for a couple months and everything is great! They've got lots of backrounds that can change every so often and I love that! This web browser is great!
- (2023-06-29) Jaden McCown: It's a decent extension. It has a noble cause and it works well. My only complaint is that it does not use Google Chrome as it's search engine, instead it uses Bing. But other than that, it's solid!
- (2023-06-26) Lucy Evans: I've been using OceanHero for over 4 years already. Since it came out, basically. I use it on every single laptop, or computer. It makes me happier to know I'm helping the planet in some way. I've cleared over 1,000 bottles! :D I'd recommend this to anyone, and I highly encourage you to use it!

- (2023-04-07) Laura Grinde: It's amazing. Everything I have is still there, just it's helping remove plastic from the Ocean. I love all the mini games, search bar, and the shell count. I also love how you can change your background to almost anything!
- (2023-03-18) Claire Putman: This was an amazing feature for my device because when I do regular stuff, (ex. searching google) I can help save the ocean. In just two days, I took 50 bottles out of the ocean! And, this adds a much more happy background to google for me which is amazing because I can control what images it showcases. Additionally, in my shortcuts, they even include mini games for me to play which help take out bottles too! what an amazing feature this truly is! Help save the ocean!
- (2023-03-13) aubrielle murphy: Its amazing! The only thing is when I try to change the background to my own, it takes a while. I changed mine about 4 days ago and it still hasn't loaded. Overall good app and would recommend. Imagine how many marine life you are saving.

- (2022-08-21) penguin luver01: I really loved there purpose for it saving the ocean and wildlife is great. Tho overall id have to say it was a really bad experience, I kept getting so many issues with my browser an not loading and glitching out to the point I thought it was gonna crash my laptop! Not to mention whenever i tried to search something it just sent me to several different browsers instead of searching it up.
- (2022-02-21) Natalia Jaime-Hughes: I redownloaded because I love what this company is doing :)

- (2022-02-17) Victoria Rouillier: I love helping everyone that means You too
- (2022-01-30) unknown hero: I tried asking if they did anything about cast off fishing lines, a well documented major source of ocean plastic. They avoided the question for three consecutive emails. Yes they donate to some ocean plastic collection, but they are a for profit company. There are better, more direct groups with their own search engine extensions.
- (2022-01-18) lily greene: i love the mini games it does everything the same way google did but it helps the ocean!
- (2022-01-08) Shadow Wolf: This is a amazing thing your doing I love animals and whenever I hear about all the trash in the oceans it makes me really sad. I think everyone should have ocean hero because all you have to do is open tabs! This is the best thing ever. - Moony

- (2021-12-07) Jocelyn Kegley: I LOVE IT. I love how there's people helping the world. but I also think that it is just horrible that there's so much trash in the ocean. Including the plastic which kills sea animals. We need more people and many more people to help clean the ocean!
- (2021-12-07) olivia wilkerson: This is a great app to get and to help the ocean animals. I most. likely will not. give the best review but trust me on this one this app is amazing.
