Ecosia on Macbook Air

I haven't installed Ecosia - it's not in Safari extensions - but it has suddenly appeared in every new tab in Safari instead of google. How can I remove it when I can't find it?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

how do you reset safari to factory settings? It looks like whenever I search something on google, after displaying the search for say, 5 seconds, safari goes to another search window (Bing) and then any related website(depending on what I have searched) opens up on its own on my Mac book pro.( I have OS -Big Sur) I think resetting safari to its Default settings might get rid of this problem. Please advise and direct how to? TIA.

I am trying to get rid of Ecosia on my MacBook Air However, I have searched how to get rid of it and it doesn't work. The advise is to find it in Applications but it is nowhere to be found. I thought it was a great idea to instal it, however it is definitely lacking in comparison with Safari which I prefer. Any advise please? Every time I search in Safari, the answer comes up in Ecosia.
