Ecosia Browser is a web browser made by Ecosia, the German search engine provider. It is based on Chromium, so it behaves much like the browsers most people already use, and it is built to be more energy efficient.

The browser also lets you track the impact your browsing contributes to, carrying Ecosia's environmental angle into everyday use. As a European alternative to the American Chromium browsers, it suits people who already search with Ecosia and want the same approach in the browser itself.

Data and operations

Infrastructure and email path

Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.

Public website

Cloudflare

Non-European provider

Observed: A 172.64.150.71, 104.18.37.185 · CNAME www.ecosia.org.cdn.cloudflare.net · AS13335
Evidence: Live website DNS ↗RIPE network record ↗

Why this matters

Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.

Incoming business email

Google Workspace

Non-European provider

Observed: MX 10 aspmx.l.google.com · 20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com · 30 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com · 40 aspmx2.googlemail.com · 50 aspmx3.googlemail.com
Evidence: Current daily MX lookup ↗

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.

Domain and email check

ecosia.org

Current public DNS records show who manages this domain, which systems handle incoming business email, and selected published service signals. Refreshed daily.

Mail handled by: Google Workspace Non-European provider

Additional service signals

Published SPF, DKIM and discovery records can reveal configured links to major platforms beyond incoming mail.

Mail-signing setup

Google Workspace

Non-European provider

TXT google._domainkey DKIM key published

A provider-specific DKIM record is published for Google Workspace. This shows configured mail-signing infrastructure, but not that every message currently uses it.

Current DNS record ↗Provider setup guide ↗

Sender authorisation

Google Workspace

Non-European provider

SPF include:_spf.google.com

Google Workspace is authorised to send email for this domain. The SPF entry can be unused or stale and does not reveal the configured data region.

Current DNS record ↗Provider setup guide ↗

This is a targeted check, not a complete zone inventory. Generic Google and Microsoft verification tokens are ignored because they do not prove product use or a data flow. DNS normally cannot list arbitrary subdomains or customer-chosen DKIM selectors, including Salesforce selectors. Missing signals are not proof that a provider is unused.

DNS checked: 2026-10-18 03:36 UTC

Public DNS records identify visible providers and routes, not every backend location or private data-region setting.
