Rapusia - Search Engine Extension

★ How it works

- You search the web with our search engine
- While you search ads, you raise money for Rapusia
- Rapusia uses these founds to help social and eco-friendly projects

Obviously, like all other search engines, we also uses advertising partners. However, this advertising is not linked to previous searches made by the user but only to the one currently in progress. Half of the revenues obtained from the ads are donated to social and eco-solidarity projects. Each search made accumulates a heart (the symbol chosen by the creators of Rapusia) for the user as a result of the advertising that is proposed. Once enough hearts have been accumulated, the user can choose a project he wants to finance and Rapusia converts the drops into money.
