Surf sustainable. EcoSurf.
This extension will help you to surf more sustainable!
It shows you which websites are green hosted, how efficent they are built and if their size is bigger
than the average website.
it raises awareness during browsing and makes the web more sustainable :)
There are features on the roadmap too:
- Hashing of urls before sending them to the backend (privacy-obscurity)
- Fixing a few bugs in displaying results
- More
This is a project work in progress developed during the hackathon https://collabothon.eu in 2021.
Special thanks to the fantastic coding school 42heilbronn, which provided the team EcoSurf not only with
room to hack in, but also with food, hardware and even dorms for a few people.
We welcome contribution to our project.

We used this tutorial the make the data usable and we removed not important parts for us.
We are planning to automate this, but it will take time.
