Nov. 24, 2019



It is no wonder that a lot of people are drifting away frompopular search engines like Googleand Bing citing privacy reasons. If you’re looking for a new search engine, check out Ekoru, a search engine that doesn’t track you and shows you ads for supporting a cause.

“We’re a small team of people who are trying to make a difference in the world. We want every search with us to make the world a better place by cleaning the environment, helping an animal, or planting a tree.”,wrote the company in a Mediumpost.

The company focuses on different causes every month. This month, a significant portion of the revenue generated by Ekoru will go towards World Animal Protection. In case you’re interested to dive deep into the causes supported by the company, feel free to check out their dedicated page on the samehere.

As far as the search experience is concerned, Ekoru provides a user-friendly interface with fairly accurate search results. In fact, the search results page has an obvious resemblance to Google’s search results.
