Displays CO2 emissions on top of the Google Flights website, with the option of buying carbon offsets.

For anyone that travels a lot by plane, the emissions from their flights is likely to be the biggest part of their CO2 footprint. It's always better to avoid a flight when possible, but this tool can help you make better decisions in the cases where you still decide to travel.

Carbon offsets aim to reduce or remove an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases by other means. While this is not as reliable as not emitting greenhouse gases in the first place, it's a good option to buy carbon offsets when it's not possible to reduce your own emissions.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Flight CO2 emissions requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Flight CO2 emissions may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
