A Dark-mode extension for ecosia
A simple chrome extension to activate a dark mode to the ecosia search engine. This extension allows to toggle a dark mode to the 'ecosia.org' site and includes a "new tab" page in dark also.
Ecosia is a search engine that uses the profits generated by your online research to plant trees where the need is greatest. They have a free browser extension for you to save the planet: https://bit.ly/2xmtfVl
You simply have to install the chrome extension. In the extention popup, you can enable or disable the dark mode.
You will also find in this popup a google search box because Ecosia searches can sometimes be less relevant than Google searches. For more specific searches, you can therefore use this field. (But you won't plant a tree...:( )
Please feel free to offer me ideas or let me know about potential issues here: https://github.com/gmirmand/ecosia-dark-mode/issues

Previously, we use the tabs function/permissions to retrieve the domain name. However, this requires the user to share his history which is bad. So here is a fix to do it in another way
v1.1.4 > 09/04/2019
Alert message more relevant and a little graphic fix
v1.1.3 > 30/03/2019
Blocking the extension (and user alerting) if we are not on ecosia.org domain
v1.1.2 > 28/03/2019
Add preventive alerts
v1.1.1 > 24/03/2019
Fix some stylish issue due to ecosia update
Add a Google form in extension popup
We already have ideas such as:
>Switch to allow dark mode to activate itself from a certain time
>Propose to choose activation slots
>Choose the color variables

- (2023-07-14) Samuele gg: It has deactivated itself from the extension bar.
- (2023-04-06) Yaëlle Roger: Bonjour, Je souhaite savoir si votre extension en mode sombre permet tout de même de planter des arbres ? Je ne vois pas le décompte s'afficher sur ma version et de plus, je vois sur votre extension que vous ne l'avez pas déployé en tant que professionnel travaillant chez Ecosia ? Merci de votre retour rapide car je souhaite faire déployer via une GPO votre extension sur tous les postes des agents de ma collectivité. Bien à vous, Yaëlle
- (2022-06-09) Lemsa 4269: Super bien mais mettez à jour svp je crois que ecosia a changé son apparence, donc maintenant avec ce patch on a un gros carré blanc autour des résultats
- (2022-04-10) Jinnamon Roll: a mobile dark mode for ecosia would be amazing, please make one!!
- (2022-04-01) la k: me encanta, la recomiendo mucho
- (2022-01-18) sh suvo: Loved it
- (2021-12-14) World of Liam: would it be possible to have ecosia new tabs in dark mode to look the same as the regular new tabs, i much prefer the small favorites bar icons and the tree count to the huge icons and the donate text. please fix. Thanks in advance.
- (2021-11-28) Wheeetabixer: Life saver works really well
- (2021-10-02) Andy: J'utilise Ecosia depuis un certain temps et j'ai toujours regretté ne pas avoir un night mode pour moins agresser mes yeux. Merci pour cette extension!
- (2021-08-28) Hostuu: The grey text is pretty ugly against the blue background.
- (2021-07-21) ziabryn: Great extension! i love ecosia so its great to see that it has dark mode
- (2021-07-16) J: I like it, its nice to have dark mode in ecosia but i use brave and i quite like the default new tab page, i would like if the new tab page was a setting. please make it a setting i dont like having the new tab page forced on me.
- (2021-06-07) Jacqueline Sabrina: Amo esta extensión
- (2021-03-24) Molly Hatcher: I really really wished I could give it five stars. Today I logged onto my computer and decided I would see how many trees I planted. Last time I had checked, it was at least 1,000. I check now and it IS ALL GONE. It really bothers me because those trees probably weren't even planted because of Covid. I am so annoyed at this and otherwise I would've totally given it five stars.
- (2021-03-07) Gersonzao: Muito útil
- (2021-03-03) Arnaud: ok on a le mode sombre , mais tous les revenu ne vont plus à ecosia!
- (2021-02-03) Sarah Balatbat: I liked it a lot but after the 2/2/21 update, the new tab doesn't show up dark for me anymore? It used to work but I don't know what happened. I tried to remove then add the extension again to see if that would work, removed and added ecosia again for default search engine but it just doesn't show up dark on the new tab. It turns dark when I'm on ecosia.org, just not on the new tab.
- (2021-02-03) KF: Très bonne extension, merci beaucoup ! J'ai remarqué que depuis quelques temps la barre de recherche est entouré d'une bande blanche et comporte le logo Ecosia light mode, ce qui est moins esthétique qu'avant, je trouve. Est-ce un bug ou juste un changement ?
- (2021-01-13) Nocturnal Owl Digitalist: A nearly perfect extension for ecosia users but Ecosia Dark-Mode is not that great. Shows history of visited tabs below the search bar which is very bad as I dont want to see that but cant disable it via options. When it comes to day, I want to use it ecosia in light version but cant as I have installed this extension so I request dev to add a button kinda option so that one can disable it during day time. Also when I select a word or sentence and right click it to search via default search engine or other engine (using cent browser, brave browser, opera browser and edge browser), ecosia never shows up despite this extension being set as default. I hope dev will look into these and work upon these features. At last, Ecosia should improve searches also with time to time as I have seen any improvements within 3 years of my using. Last update of this extension was in july 20 so I hope new update must be coming soon in 2021. Thanks.
- (2021-01-07) When I opened it up it was back and white and when I tried again it was the normal ecosia page .
- (2021-01-07) Rocky: Loving this so far, works next to near seamless in comparison to Vanilla Chrome- and its nice to be saving trees just doing your everyday searches. However, as an artist, I look up References for drawings quite often and the entire image section on Google through Ecosia is VERY wonky- and sometimes doesn't even display images after you click on them. I haven't yet found a solution or a workaround, so i just learned to search up images through my mobile phone and send them to myself through Discord; hoping to see a resolution in the future! :D
- (2020-11-10) Bruno Dantas: Thanks, that new tab page was too white.
- (2020-11-09) A O: wasnt in settings but it was on the internet :p thank you!
- (2020-10-27) Jesús Juárez: Búsquedas rápidas y sencillas, modo noche que mejora el diseño y hace mas agradable la vista. Todo eso sabiendo que puedes ayudar a la madre tierra plantando arboles y saber cuantos llevas plantados con tus búsquedas, es genial y por si fuera poco es gratis! Es una gran satisfacción saber que con acciones tan pequeñas ayudas a Gaia, a renovarse y tener su equilibrio para que suba su frecuencia. Vibrando alto estamos en conjunto
- (2020-10-19) Marem López: No puedo desactivarlo y activarlo con facilidad, solo puedo desinstalarlo si quiero quitarlo, pero maravillosa extensión para seguir apoyando a ecosia aún en modo oscuro.
- (2020-09-22) Luiza Dock: thank you for this
- (2020-09-13) Saswot Lamichhane: Awesome!
- (2020-08-24) Maryse Mure: Dommage que dès que j'ajoute l’extension, j'ai ce message en bas de ma barre de recherche: "Veuillez garder l'extension chrome officielle d'Ecosia installée pour conserver toutes ses fonctionnalités ! Cette page nouvel onglet est un "copie" de la page nouvel onglet de l'extension ecosia officiel. Aucun revenu n'est généré à partir de cette extension et tous les droits restent réservés aux créateurs d'ecosia. Extension Ecosia Dark-Mode développé par Gaëtan Mirmand" Et que je n'arrive pas à avoir la page officielle mais en sombre. Sinon rien à redire, très appréciée afin de ne pas me brûler les yeux.
- (2020-08-06) Lionel Jaby: Merci pour ce dark mode et pour nos yeux ! Tout s'affiche bien et est plutôt lisible. Petites remarques sur des points qui ne nuisent aucunement à l'utilisation : Le compteur d'arbre sur la page d'accueil s'affiche en noir, pas très lisible ; cliquer sur le logo Ecosia de la page nouvel onglet ne ramène pas à la page d'accueil ; les logos de la page d'accueil, nouvel onglet et recherche sont tous les trois différents, faudrait se décider :p. Merci pour votre travail, vous rendez service ! ;)
- (2020-07-31) José Carrasco: plantar arboles gracias a mis búsquedas y no tener dolor de ojos es espectacular 10/10
- (2020-07-28) Indigo: Great, but won't let me toggle the mode on and off. Says there's a switch in the popup, but there's just a message thanking the user. Not that that will stop me from using it, since I'd probably have it on permanently anyway.
- (2020-07-27) Melissa Yanez: how do i turn dark mode on
- (2020-07-15) Riley Tinbayne: The dark mode itself works just fine. A little glitchy for News and Videos, but I never use those anyway. The real reason I'm writing this is because of the new tab. I can see form your other reviews that lots of people were happy when you added the new tab feature. The one without the ads and with the access to the bookmarks etc. Unfortunately, I have Tab For A Cause, which does have ads and uses them to donate to other charitable causes. Yet since this extension was installed I've had to forgo that to save a little power. If you could add an option to not use the New Tab automatically, that would be an instant 4. Working out the thing with News and Vids will get you an instant 5. Thanks for taking the time to read, and for keeping me posted.
- (2020-07-14) Barry White: Not using until the forced new tab page is gone. I use Tab For A Cause and this overwrites that setting.
- (2020-04-15) Teo Esteve López: no sabia que existia
- (2020-03-19) Ben Hicks: It works really well, I love ecosia so much already, and dark mode always makes everything better!! the one thing is, you shouldn't need to download a dark mode and a normal mode to have both, it should be made so that you need to download only original and in settings be able to change it.
- (2020-03-16) Vanaduim: Merci pour se mode sombre ! ça fait vraiment du bien pour les yeux ! L'apparence est bien mais pour le texte des résultats de recherche, il manque de contraste. Il faudrait que celui-ci aie une couleur de police plus clair, même du blanc serait approprier car le texte n'occupe qu'une petite partie de l'écran et n’abîmerait pas les yeux
- (2020-03-16) Mattis Vercherand: Très bonne application 😊😊👍👍mais je penser qu‘on pourrait le désactiver manuellement lieu de supprimer de chrome😢😢 mais je ne comprens pas pourquoi le compteur d’arbre ne marche pas !!!!!
- (2020-03-12) Alexia Sulbaran: I really like it! It's comfortable and easy to work with
- (2020-03-01) Charli Wheeler: its amazing i really love it and it makes me feel good knowing that im doing something good
- (2020-02-13) BJ Jongejan: Awesome! I just wish that we were able to customize the colors a bit more, maybe choose from a black, dark grey, and the current color? Because as of right now, the dark color is a little off from the rest of the themes on my computer.
- (2020-02-11) Yente van der Elburg: This is a good extension, I have dark mode enabled everywhere! Only the text can be a bit more white or bright in my taste. When results show up, I can't read the text very well.
- (2020-01-13) Anish Aruru: I works well with ecosia.
- (2020-01-10) Cat Antlers: Gives literally no reason to use Google instead of Ecosia, and I just want to greatly thank personally who has ever made this, beside the chrome store being in light theme of course. :)
- (2019-12-31) sacha: ca marche. l'autre que j'essayer n'avais pas. c'est genial ;)
- (2019-12-14) Kim Jong-un: très bonne aplication
- (2019-11-29) Jules Fraysse: Extension utile pour mes beaux yeux merci !
- (2019-11-07) Hana Hicks: This is amazing i have already planted 5 trees i love that im helping the enviroment
- (2019-10-01) Rupert Cole: Everything about this is great, works perfectly, except it forces a new tab page to be the ecosia one and replaces a different new tab plugin I had. Is this me missing something in settings or is it a forced feature?
- (2019-09-15) Gamevort: Rien à dire
