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.
