User reviews
This is a browser, similar to oceanhero.today, but seems more focused on practical things like building partnerships, whereas oceanhero.today is more oriented to fun and children. That doesn't mean Ekoru has no fun features; for example, it lets you change the background colors to things like "Arctic white" and "dolphin grey" and "starfish pink."
The one doubt that I have about Ekoru is the transparency. Information about their finances is not readily available on the website, nor is a detailed description of how many searches make a how big of an impact, nor evidence that they are contributing to their partner's efforts.
