Summary

Browsing meets Electric Intelligence.

EQ Mode helps you load less data as you surf, reducing your digital carbon footprint.

Every megabyte loaded while browsing equals an average emission of 19 grams of CO2. That’s 500 kg of CO2 per year for an average internet user!

Mercedes-Benz EQ is committed to the idea of Electric Intelligence, even beyond cars.

That’s why we’ve created the EQ Mode plugin, the simple and intuitive way to reduce your carbon footprint while you surf. Are you ready to #switchtoEQ?

User reviews
I think the extension could be improved by adding a whitelist for all the website where images need to be loaded. Adding a website to the whitelist lets you see the pictures, adding one to the blacklist or blocking temporarily the images from that site does not. I will keep using the extension and think it should be advertised more.

Cool thing. Saves environment plus gets rid of thousands of annoying images that i really don't want to see. Smart.
