Ecosia is a search engine.

Apple added it as a search engine option over a year ago.

Like any of the other search engine options such as Bing, Google, Duck Duck go it can't be removed as an option.

You are free not to use it.


You choose your search engine on iOS by doing this:

Choose a search engine

Go to Settings  > Safari > Search Engine.
