Website Footprint - Chrome Extension for Carbon Score

'Website Footprint' is a Chrome extension designed to help users understand their carbon footprint when browsing the internet. The extension gives a carbon score to each website the user visits, totals the consumption for each browsing session, and can convert the co2 impact into illustrative measures for easy understanding. Importantly, Website Footprint does not collect any user data or rely on external servers, and its goal is to be lightweight and non-invasive.

Amazing Chrome extension
by Walid Sadfi, 2022-05-17

Well-made app. Like other says, a "how it works" page would be good, to know how the footprint grades calculated. + An Improvement I`d made is that the app shows me the carbon footprint of the websites before I click to them (In the search engine), so we can be aware of "dirty" websites :)

Nicely designed, appears to work quite well - some insight in to how it works would be helpful.
