EcoSurf Analyser ๐ŸŒฑ

Measure the ecological impact of websites you visit in real-time

EcoSurf Analyser is a browser extension that displays the ecological score of any webpage directly in your browser's navigation bar. See at a glance whether a website is environmentally friendly or not!

EcoSurf Analyser Demo

๐ŸŒ Why EcoSurf?

With the growing environmental impact of digital technologies, understanding the carbon footprint of the websites we visit is crucial. EcoSurf Analyser makes this information accessible with a simple grading system from A (eco-friendly) to G (high impact).

โœจ Features

  • Real-time ecological assessment of any website
  • Simple A-G grading system visible in your browser's toolbar
  • Automatic analysis of websites not yet in the database
  • Works across popular browsers

๐Ÿ“ฅ Installation

From Official Stores

Firefox Add-on
Chrome Extension

Manual Installation (Firefox)

  1. Download the repository
  2. Open Firefox and navigate to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
  3. Click on "Load Temporary Add-on..."
  4. Select the manifest.json file located in the EcoSurfAnalyser folder

๐Ÿ” How It Works

  1. When you visit a website, EcoSurf contacts the EcoIndex API to check if that site has been analyzed
  2. If data exists, you'll see the ecological score (A-G) in your browser's toolbar
  3. If no data exists, EcoSurf requests a new analysis from the EcoIndex API
  4. Using a smart heuristic approach, the extension will periodically check for new results

๐Ÿงช Technical Details

EcoSurf Analyser integrates with the EcoIndex API, which measures:

  • Page weight
  • DOM complexity
  • Server requests
  • And many other factors that impact a site's carbon footprint
