N'a pas l'air de fonctionner sur mon PC portable. Je n'ai tout simplement pas de pastille qui s'affiche devant mes résultats de recherche | |

There's no information on the criteria on which it draws its conclusion. Read Nichol Brummer's review, I completely agree with it. We don't know if it's even neutral or something, google and facebook green but not ecosia search? Right... Also, you only have "green" sites, but no way of knowing if a certain site is gray because they have no data on it or because it's actually "not green". Meh. No way of knowing if this thing is accurate. | |

Try to only use the websites that are hosted green. I had the idea to make such an extension myself but discovered it already existed! I've also done a bit research on what websites are hosted green but I don't understand why for example Facebook is hosted green. Yes, they're building all their new servers with renewable energy but seeing online they will be fully renewable around 2021 which is awesome. Does this extension look to what servers it's connected to see if that specific server is hosted green, when is a website hosted green to you? | |

Этот ужасный ,глупый значок.. ну да ладно уже.. не в этом суть.. а суть в том ,что очень часто этот плагин "улыбается" на сайтах ,часто распространяющих вредоносное ПО,а в остальном ,значок везде"недоволен",пользы от этого плагина практически никакой и единицу я не поставил только потому ,что замысел не плохой и нужный,но в остальном ещё очень и очень далеко.. удаляю конечно же.. |
