Extension summary

This extension redirects some of your search queries to partner search engines of Kind Search which uses its ad revenue to plant trees.

How it works:

  1. Kind Search replaces your default search engine.

  2. Some of your searches are redirected to our partner search feeds like Bing, Yahoo and other search engines. Part of the profit from such searches is dedicated to reforestation projects.

  3. Our team allocates funds for these ecology projects and make a report every month!

We dedicate our profits to tackling climate change. Our monthly financial statements disclose all items of expenditure.

You can see the number of Kind Points you have at the bottom of the browser, which represents the number of trees you've planted with Kind Search. The more active your browsing activity is, the more trees we plant. The equivalent of one new tree is about 100 Kind Points.

In Kind Search, your anonymized browsing activity is used to estimate your Kind Points.
