The environmental impact related to the internet is underestimated, because of the invisibility of the related infrastructures [2]. We are not mindful of our data consumption, whilst making small adjustments could save huge amounts of carbon emissions. For instance, if every adult in the UK sent one less ‘thank you’ email, it could save 16,433 tonnes of carbon a year - the equivalent of taking 3,334 diesel cars off the road [1].
This browser extension helps you to lower your online carbon footprints. By providing data insights on your carbon emissions, giving pop-up advice and comparing your emissions to that of others.
This extension is a research prototype of a final master project at Eindhoven University of Technology. By downloading this extension, you are contributing to research on online carbon footprints. By collecting anonymous usage data and asking you to fill in short surveys, we are studying how we can guide internet users to lower their online carbon footprints.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
