The Green Web provides a simple way to browse the sustainability of a website at a glance, with easy-to-follow explanations.

Why is the Green Web?

We believe that websites should be responsible to the environment they serve, and to their visitors. That is why, we make sure that they use green power to power their servers, and that they use green software to create the data that runs on them.

We have made this add-on open-source, so you can check what is happening behind the scenes, and to contribute to its further development.

How does the add-on work?

The add-on collects data from various green websites, and makes this information available to the browser. When you search the web, a small green icon appears on top of each result.

The browser extension sends the requests and collects the results in a background process.
